Undercut substitution

SolidCAM handles undercuts by substituting the undercut with a cylindrical segment depending on the undercut type. The cylinder diameter is equal to the Undercut start diameter (DU). When the diameter of the lower undercut segment is smaller than the Undercut start diameter, SolidCAM  substitutes this segment with a cone, chamfer, torus or sphere.

Undercut substitution schemes:

Undercut – None segment substitution

Undercut – Planar segment substitution

 

Undercut – Cone segment substitution

Undercut – Chamfer segment substitution

Undercut – Torus segment substitution

Undercut – Sphere segment substitution
