Virtual MODELA starts.
The 3D Engrave cutting data is imported into Virtual
MODELA.
An animated display of tool movement appears, and the
shape after cutting is gradually produced.
Click the
button. When the tool path is created, it
appears in pink on the 3D screen.
Generating the Tool Path
A tool path is the path followed by the tool's blade tip.
The tool path is generated from the cutting parameters that are presently set.
Before you create the tool path, make the settings for the cutting parameters.
At the cutting parameters, make the settings for the composition of the workpiece, the type of tool, and the cutting process.
* The blade angle of the general-use cutter is [30] degrees.
* If you're using a flat cutter, select [Square end mill].
Draft Cutting and Finishing
Cutting has two processes: draft cutting and finishing. You first create the tool path for draft cutting and carry out cutting. After
draft cutting ends, go back to this step, create the tool path for finishing and perform cutting again.
Be sure never to perform finishing on material that has not undergone draft cutting.
Checking the Cutting Results
If Virtual MODELA is installed and set up, then before you perform cutting you can check the shape that will be produced after
cutting on the screen.
