Use the Spiral Finishing strategy to create a 2D spiral pattern within a boundary and then projects it onto the model. This pattern is then machined.
This strategy minimises the number of tool lifts, while maintaining more constant load conditions and deflections on the tool. This maximises cutting time, which in turn reduces the overall machining time.
The pages associated with the Spiral Finishing strategy are:
- Spiral finishing — The main page used to define a spiral finishing toolpath.
- High speed — Settings to create arcs in internal corners to eliminate sudden changes in tool direction which is essential for high speed machining.
- Automatic verification — Settings to automatically verify the toolpath when calculating it.
The remaining pages are common toolpath strategy pages.
