Raster Finishing Overview

Use the Raster Finishing strategy to create a toolpath by taking a pattern of curves, within a boundary, and projecting points from these curves onto the model.

Raster toolpaths are often used on open parts and are best-suited to rectangular models. This is a robust machining strategy that works well on many models except for areas that are vertical (or near-vertical).

The pages associated with the Raster Finishing strategy are:

  • Raster finishing — The main page used to define a raster 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.
