6.2.6 Morph between two surfaces
This option is similar to the Morph between
two curves option. SolidCAM will create
tool path morphing between two leading
curves. In contrast to the Morph between
two curves
option where the leading curves
are directly selected on the model, the
Morph between two surface option enables
you to choose two surfaces adjacent to the
drive surface. The common boundaries of
these surfaces and the drive surface will be
used as the leading curves.
For proper machining, the Calc based on tool center option must be enabled.
If the calculation is not based on the tool center, a wrong tool path will be
generated. The option is located on the Misc. Parameters page.
