Smooth Tangent Tool Paths (smooth machining)3
Typical Tool Paths, Typical Problems
Standard Tool Path
#1 Over Engaged Tool
Even Worse
Typical Solution
Reduced Load On Tool
iMachining Tool Path
Complete Controlled Step Over
#2 Cutting Air
Cut Air
No Air Cutting
Corners Removed Automatically
#3 Non-Tangent Tool Paths
Sharp Corners
Tangent Tool Paths Automatically
3 Problems with Standard Tool Paths
Over Engaged Tools Cutting Air Non Tangent Tool Paths
