Technology

This section enables you to define the type of Port machining operation. SolidCAM provides you with multiple types of the Port machining operations.

Roughing

This strategy enables you to create the basic roughing tool path to remove a lot of material at a time within the port. The pattern consists of the layers and slices. This helps in keeping minimum material on the walls for finishing operation.

Rest Roughing

This strategy enables you to create a roughing tool path based on the updated stock model. With this strategy you can target only the specific areas where material is remaining and eliminate the possibility of unnecessary air cuts.

Spiral Finishing

This strategy creates a tool path to machine the entire surface in a descending helical manner, avoiding unnecessary retracts and ensuring constant contact between the cutter and machining surface.

Plunge finishing

This strategy enables you to create multiple cuts along the flow line direction of the port. The start point is always outside, as it creates scallops along the flow of the gases.
