Most of the time, it is also an advantage to have the origin at the top of the model (or stock) such that positive Z-values are always in the air. You always need to have your Z-axis pointing upwards from the areas you want to machine since the tool rotates about the Z-axis on the machine tool with the tool tip pointing in negative Z. The tool view of the active operation is always shown on the model like the coordinate system to the right. Tool View The Tool View group allows you to select a different orientation to machine from. The property page is divided into a number of groups, and in this tutorial we will go through each one by one, changing the necessary settings in each group as we go along. This creates a new operation, and opens the property manager where you can edit the individual parameters controlling the toolpath, as well as selecting the actual geometry to machine. Ĭlick 2D Contour on the HSMWorks toolbar or select it from the HSMWorks, Toolpaths menu.Typically, this is something like C:\Program Files\HSMWorks\examples\Ĭontouring We want to run a contouring toolpath along the outer edges of the part. The files used in this manual can be found in the examples folder in the folder where HSMWorks is installed.
