This strategy enables you to generate the tool path with cuts that are parallel to each other.

This strategy enables you to perform the machining along a lead curve. The generated cuts are parallel to each other.

This strategy enables you to generate the tool path on the drive surface parallel to the specified check surface.

This strategy enables you to generate the tool path orthogonal to a Lead curve.

This strategy enables you to generate a morphed tool path between two leading curves. The generated tool path is evenly spread over the drive surface.

This strategy enables you to generate a morphed tool path on a drive surface enclosed by two check surfaces. The tool path is generated between the check surfaces and evenly spaced over the drive surface. This strategy can be used for the machining of impellers with twisted blades.

• User-defined

This strategy projects the curve selected in the Projection curves section down onto the drive surfaces.

• Radial

This strategy projects a radial pattern on the surface. It is effective for finishing circular shaped components and shallow areas.

• Spiral

This strategy projects a spiral pattern on the surface. It is effective for finishing on circular shaped components and shallow areas. Machining starts from the inner circle defined by a start radius cutting spirally in outward direction.

• Offset

This strategy projects the curve selected in the Projection curves section down onto the drive surfaces and creates offsets on the left, right, or both sides of the projection curve.
