This operation enables you to mill on or along a contour. The
profile geometry can be either open or closed. In profile milling
you can optionally use tool radius compensation to the right or
left side of the geometry. SolidCAM
offers two types of profiling:
- Milling a single
profile to the specified constant or variable depth
in one step or in several user-defined down steps;
Milling
concentric profiles
to the specified constant or variable depth. This type
of profiling generates several concentric profiles that start
from the defined clear offset distance from the profile, and
finishes on the profile geometry, thus clearing the area around
the profile to a constant
depth. |
