About Toolpaths
Step 3: To smooth the relief
Step 3: To smooth the relief This section describes how to create the second machine-relief toolpath, which applies only to the relief itself, as defined by the vector boundary. Use this toolpath to surface finish the relief using a 1.5 mm ball-nosed ...
Step 2: To remove the bulk material
Step 2: To remove the bulk material This section describes how to create the first machine-relief toolpath, which applies to the entire block of material. Use this toolpath to remove the bulk of the material using a 3 mm ball-nosed tool. To create ...
Step 1: To create the model and import the piece of relief clipart
Step 1: To create the model and import the piece of relief clipart This section describes how to create the model and import the lizard design from the Relief Clipart Library. To create the model and import the piece of relief clipart: Create the ...
To machine a relief - example
To machine a relief - example This example describes how to create two machine-relief toolpaths from a relief to machine the following lizard design from a 500 x 300 x 45 mm block of material: The toolpaths use two different-sized, ball-nosed tools ...
About 3D machining toolpaths
About 3D machining toolpaths Use 3D machining toolpaths when you want to machine 3D shapes. Carveco includes several types of 3D toolpath. For example, machine-relief toolpaths for machining entire reliefs; feature-machining toolpaths for machining ...
Step 3: To cut-out the plaque
Step 3: To cut-out the plaque This section describes how to create the second profile toolpath, which applies to the vector representing the plaque's edge. Use this toolpath to cut out the plaque from the sheet of material using a 10 mm end-mill ...
Step 2: To carve-out the plaque's border and Reception text
Step 2: To carve-out the plaque's border and Reception text This section describes how to create the first profile toolpath, which applies to the offset vector and to the vector text. Use this toolpath to carve-out small amounts of material for the ...
Step 1: To create the model and vectors
Step 1: To create the model and vectors This section describes how to create the model and the vectors for the Reception plaque. To create the model and the vectors: Create the model: Display the New Model dialog. Select mm as the Units. Enter a: ...
To machine a plaque from vectors - example
To machine a plaque from vectors - example This example describes how to create two profiling toolpaths from vectors to machine the following Reception plaque from a 500 x 300 x 20 mm sheet of material: The toolpaths use two different-sized end-mill ...
About 2D machining toolpaths
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 ...
About Toolpaths
About Toolpaths Toolpaths are paths along which a tool follows when manufacturing a product. Different toolpaths are available depending on what you are machining and how. For example, Carveco includes specific toolpaths for profile machining, ...
