The Pencil Mill operation generates toolpaths to finish the machined corner areas by using a single pass or multiple Constant Stepover passes. The Constant Stepover operation removes material by maintaining a constant user-defined stepover relative to the surface. The Curve Project operation removes the material by selecting curve features on the faces or surfaces of a multi-surface feature and generating toolpaths along the selected curve or entities. In this operation, CAMWorks generates toolpaths only for completely flat areas. The Flat Area operation uses a pocket-out pattern to remove material from feature faces that are flat and parallel to the XY machining plane. The cuts generally follow the contour of the feature at decreasing Z levels based on the specified Surface Finish. The Z -Level operation removes the material by making a series of horizontal planar cuts. The Pattern Project operation is a multi-surface finishing feature that removes material based on the selected pattern: Slice, Radial, Spiral and Flowline.
The Area Clearance option is used to remove the material between the stock and the selected feature at desired Z -depth levels by making a series of parallel cuts across the stock or by pocketing out toward the stock. There are many types of 3 Axis mill Operations CAMWorks
We can use Automatic Feature Recognition (AFR) or manually choose the operations to program 3 Axis milling. The main advantage of 3 Axis milling in CAMWorks is that users can mill the part models with a smaller number of steps and setups and with more accuracy. It is usually a quick and simple process in CAMWorks. 3 Axis milling is the process of milling a part in X, Y and Z directions, and the tool motion is along 1, 2 or 3 Axes simultaneously.
