Profile offsets


SolidCAM enables you to specify the machining allowance that can be removed by profile finishing in the same operation or in another operation.

Wall offset

This option defines the offset that will remain on the wall of the machined part after roughing.

Floor offset

This option defines the offset that will remain on the floor of the machined part after roughing. When the Floor offset value is specified, SolidCAM performs the machining by the Z-levels defined with the Step down parameter. The machining is performed up to the Floor offset.

The Wall offset and Floor offset parameters are available only when the Rough section is activated.
