Theoretical Rest Areas

You can create 3D boundaries from rest areas left by an imaginary reference tool. This gives good results when used for semi-finish and finish machining operations. You can then use these boundaries to limit another SolidCAM HSM operation performed with a tool of an equal or smaller size.

The Theoretical Rest areas dialog box enables you to define set of the model faces and a number of parameters for the theoretical rest material areas generation.
