I use the current function in Inventor of checking "both ways" during roughing, when using VNMG inserts on complex profiles. If you used round inserts I feel it would currently already work basically identical to the video shown.
Pretty limited use cases.. BUT i've always thought it was silly that with how awesome Adaptive is, HSMWorks Turning wasn't the first place this was implemented. Like.. The hard part was done 10 years ago, right?
@al.whatmough it would need a "re-program" for turning anyway. I've always assumed we don't do bothways adaptive because it doesn't obey to Adaptive's principles, not because the algorithm doesn't do it. So there are reasons to not do bothways in milling, that doesn't mean @martin.dunschen can't just flip a switch in the code for the turning version of the algorithm, they can't be identical like I said before, so allowing bothways is a possibility there.
@Laurens-3DTechDraw - right, I made the same assumption.. In fact, i'd bet making it only function in one direction was an issue that was overcome at some point.. With each pass, after evaluating the stock to remove/when finding the start point, there are two solutions so logic follows that there's a snippet of code making it choose one over the other.. just choose the closest one instead :
I've got some complex 17-4 stainless parts I now make that would be GREAT for this. If the tool could follow a pattern, in both direction, that could keep the thickness of removed material consistent so chips would break, this would be a great option I think for certain parts. Almost like doing a finishing pass in both directions, but with lead in and such patterned so the plunge into the material was not too aggressive.
