Hi,
I'm trying to generate a code for a jetengine part.
I had the part drawn up in a 3d program and exported as a STEP-file. Afterwards I imported it into BobCAD.
I have a few questions on how to proceed. I know all the basics for the 2-1/2D machining, but never tried 3D.
When I import the part I can't get the "zero-point" to the lower-center of the part. Normally you can press "P" but I can't select the lower center where the zero needs to go to.
When I generate a toolpath, the path folows the curve of the part a a fixed distance (radius of the ballnose), however the mill needs to come down slowly cutting it's way towards the part.. any suggestions?
regards,
Adryan
