5-axis Machining
6. Geometry Page
This page enables you to select the faces to be machined and the machining strategy. The different
strategies available are:
• Parallel cuts
• Cut along curve
• Morph between 2 curves
• Parallel to curve
• Project curve
• Morph between 2 surfaces
• Parallel to surface
For all the above strategies, select the drive surface and the related geometries. In the Morph
between 2 curves and Parallel to curve strategies, the curves have to be part of the surface external
boundaries. Select the faces first, and than select the edges. Do not use sketches to define these types
of geometries.
