I thought that we had discussed this previously.
Anyway, wouldn’t it work in Carbide Create Pro to:
- import the 3D model:
Draw the path as an outline which is ~10% wider than a small/narrow endmill:
Subtract that from the model as a shallow path:
Then, cut things as normal:
which all previews as:
Then, select the geometry:
and assign a 3D toolpath to it:
and one gets a toolpath which follows along the cut 3D model:
It would be nice if this could be done w/ a 3D Roughing toolpath which would follow the outline, but I couldn’t get that to instantiate.
