Prismatic Part machining parameters

The Prismatic Part machining strategy is designed especially for high-speed finishing of prismatic parts. This strategy comprises the technology of the Constant Z and 3D Constant step over strategies by integrating these two strategies into one smart functionality of prismatic part machining. The difference from the Combined Constant Z with 3D Constant step over strategy is as follows: in the Combined strategy, the subsequent strategies are performed successively one after the other. In the Prismatic Part machining strategy, the machining is performed consistently according to the order of the walls and flat faces along the Z-axis.

Step down

This parameter defines the height of the passes spacing along the tool axis in the Constant Z finishing.

Step over

This parameter defines the distance between the adjacent tool passes measured along the surface.

Offset type

This option enables you to define an offset between adjacent Constant Z passes. When the Upper option is chosen, the upper Constant Z pass is offset and trimmed to the lower Constant Z pass. When the Lower option is chosen, the lower Constant Z pass is offset and trimmed to the upper Constant Z pass. When Both option is chosen, both passes are offset together.
