Unmachined material (rest material) left behind by oversized tools. Gouges into the finished part model. Rapid-traverse movements cutting through material. Machine and Holder Collision Detection
A new "Overlap" setting allows cutters to move beyond the start point, effectively eliminating witness marks for a cleaner finish.
For the machinist, the 2014 R2 release offered specific improvements in toolpath algorithms. The software provided smoother transitions for high-speed machining, a critical requirement for maintaining surface finish quality and prolonging tool life. Additionally, the autosave functionality and file management systems were optimized for the x64 environment, mitigating the risk of data loss during long calculation processes. The version also boasted improved CAD data translation filters, allowing for the import of native files from platforms like SolidWorks, Inventor, and CATIA with high fidelity, ensuring that design intent was preserved during the programming phase.
