About 2D machining toolpaths
Use 2D machining toolpaths when you want to machine 2D
shapes.
Carveco includes several types of 2D toolpath for rough- and
finish-machining. Use a rough-machining toolpath, such as area clearance, for
removing bulk material; and use a finish-machining toolpath, such as carving or
fluting, for smoothing surfaces.
The following example demonstrates how to create profiling
toolpaths from vectors to machine a plaque.
