About 3D Adaptive Cleaning setting

[seiko]

I am wondering about CAM setting...

I have a question about CAM setting of "tutorial 4"

Why does it need "Rest Machining setting" despite of fist process?

I tried to OFF this setting though, the tool path was a little bit different...

Does anyone know the reason why this setting is required??

Hi @seiko 

Yes i'm not too sure why for that tutorial they would be advising to use the rest machining function when it is the first toolpath in the setup. Rest machining is most useful when you have created a roughing toolpath with a large tool, and then want to focus machining on the areas the larger tool couldn't access. I think either way the outcome of the toolpath will be very much the same but i don't necessarily think you need it for that given setup. The only instance i can think of is if this was a second setup and you were using the simulated stock from the toolpaths applied in the first setup as your stock reference for setup 2. This would be where that would come in handy so it's not wasting time air cutting over sections that have been cut in the previous setup.

Hope this helps

Hi @mathew.hutton 

Thank you for your advice and in-depth explanation!!

I was wandering whether  i should prove the reason of using the Rest Machining function in fist step or not...

Now I am clear thank you so much.
