Constant Z combined with 3D Corner offset strategy

The Constant Z Passes page defines the parameters of the Constant Z machining strategy, which is used for semi-finishing and finishing of steep model areas.

The Pencil Passes page defines the parameters of the Pencil milling strategy, which is used for removing material along internal corners and fillets with small radii that was not reached in previous operations.

The Corner Offset Passes page defines the parameters of the 3D Corner offset machining strategy, which is used in order to machine all the internal corner radii to size.

Two Link pages, which are located under the Constant Z Passes and the Corner Offset Passes pages, define the linking of the tool path for each of these strategies.

In the Link page for Corner Offset Passes, the Machining order tab enables you to define the order in which the Constant Z and Corner offset passes will be performed.

When the tool has finished performing the passes of the first machining strategy, it goes up to the Clearance level, then descends back to the machining surface to continue with the next strategy.
