Support tags can be added automatically to any contour tool path (including 5-axis) This overcomes the issue of small parts moving during the nesting process, reducing material wastage and improving part quality.
A sinusoidal or zig-zag up and down movement can be applied to any contour tool path, utilizing more of the effective cutting length of the tool used. This improves the surface finish and extends the tool life.
This new cycle supports any drill type and calculates the required machining depth from a given chamfer depth. All selected holes will be analyzed to ensure the tool can enter the hole where there is a flat on the bottom of the tool, and that the tool diameter is sufficient to complete the full depth of chamfer.
