Hello Jerry- thank you for the post!

I create these region curves but If I create a z-level-finishing toolpath it makes only one step directly on the drawed surface.

I need 5 steps with 2mm...

Hello from Germany

I create a single 3D surface because this surface I have to mill from an existing part. Above this real existing part are some little things (10mm hight) that I must remove in...

Better pic

Okay.

I understand. 🙂

But what's to the side? The stepover is 50% but in the middle of a square is region that the bit don't cut.

Hello.
If the finishing distance is 0.3mm and Madcam roughing a pocket... Why madcam also dont cuts the middle of the pocket?

There also stand Material in 0.6mm... 0.3 from both sides.

Hello. Today the first day my 4th axis is working exactly.
I had create indexed toolpathes from 4 sites with clipping planes in the middle of the part. From two of the 4 sites I go deepeer as the...

Hello Joakim,

Yes I had try this.
Now I think I use the ISO G-Code 4-Axis MadCAM PP
I had modify it at it works.

My simulation looks confusing but in reality it has worked at the first...

Hello.

since 3 weeks I would make parts on a 4-Axis machine. Now I think my problems comes from a postprocessor that not works to my Software (Beamicon2)

I had search a folder with all my...

Hello again.

Many thanks to Joakim from sweden. He shows me in a video what I must do to create the passes. The way I go to my passes was nearly the same but the mistake between madCam and my...

Hello.

Thank you for the link

last week I search for a screen recorder and havent found a free version ;o)

Thank you

Hello Joakim and Mauri.

Today I get better results in simulation. I take indexed 4-Axis Mode and rotate the part 4 times in 90degrees steps. I also use clipping planes and the roughing result...

new findings

If I look the simulation in same direction as the A-Axis I see, that the Y-Axis dont make any movings and is still in the middle of my A-Axis. ...but If I look at the values at the...

Hey, madCam- whats wrong with your Support? There are holidays in sweden?

Hello from Germany

I will use Madcam to create toolpathes. I have a 10mm high item into a also 10mm high piece of material.
First I take the tool to cut out my item from the rest - that is OK...
