Command:

Menu【ToolPath >Prism machining】        Toolpath  Bar

Steps:

1 Select the object

2 Click Menu【ToolPath > Prism machining】.

3 Set the parameters, Click OK button.

Parameters:

1)Tool: This Prism machining effect is only gotten by using the conical tool. Thus, only conical tools are provided in the tool library.

2)Parameters: You can set the material thickness and machining depth in this section.

If the machining depth less than prompt, the effect in Figure

3)Machine direction: is the direction of the toolpath, including clockwise and anti-clockwise. When choosing cutting direction, the material should be taken into consideration so that the surface
of the material after being machined is smooth. Clockwise machining is fit for cutting materials of high density, such as Acryl (organic glass), brass, etc; anti-clockwise machining is fit for cutting materials of low density such as PVC board, two-color board, etc.

          clockwise                  anti-clockwise

4)Angle type: includes rounded and cusp angles.

         Cusp                         rounded

5)First cut in depth: The first layer of the milling depth,
As milling capacity, so the depth should not be too deep, can not exceed the cutter  height.

Simply first layer toolpaths: Cancel the external path of the first
layer.
