I'm new to feature cam 3d milling, and learning by the trial, error, and coffee method.
I've been able to get tool paths for parts, but instead of just cutting out the part, feature cam is making a path to mill away all the waste material. Is there an easy way to tell feature cam just to cut a groove all the way through on the outside of a curve?
I was thinking of doing an offset from the part, and then telling feature cam to cut a side feature from the part and to cut a side feature from the offset. But this seems like it's more work than it should be.
Any ideas?
Also, has anybody figured a decent way to add tabs to a part?
Thanks,
Dean
