Material boundary

Generate Material boundary as sketch

This command enables you to generate a sketch containing the material boundary of the part after the machining by a specific turning operation.

This command automatically creates a new sketch in the CAM component of the CAM-Part assembly and generates in this sketch the geometry of the updated material boundary after the chosen operation.

The generated updated material boundary is not associative to the model geometry and operations.

Generate Material boundary as solid

This command enables you to generate a revolved solid feature that represents the Material boundary after a number of turning operations.

A revolved feature is generated in the CAM component of the Part assembly. The revolved feature is based on sketch of the Material boundary obtained after the chosen operation. If a previously generated revolved feature already exists in the CAM component, SolidCAM updates it to represent the Material boundary for the chosen operation.
