Milling into a curved surface

[bruce2EAAY]

Hi,

Has anyone any idea what strategy to use if i want to mill into a curved surface ?

I have a 3 axis machine

The only strategy that works is 3d parallel as it has variable Z, but he result is not correct

Hi,

I also tried the following, by defining my own axis during setup and making a simple pocket.

For some or other reason i cannot convince Fusion to mill this pocket with any of the 3d strategies ?

Maybe i am just being dumb, but i am stuck here.

Hi @bruce2EAAY 

Are you able to attach your project so i can have a look. If it's the pocket you are looking to machine, you may be able to use a 2D strategy.
