And you can use a different Tool Orientation for the currently being defined Tool Path. In the Tool Orientation screen as you define each Tool Path you have the option to use WCS as defined from the SETUP. That is as an added controlling function for Multi-axis machining. With that said AFTER YOUR SETUP IS COMPLETE WITH WCS, as you create any tool paths, you should define your Tool Orientation as part of each Tool Path definition. That should not change unless you literally move the part off that actual location on the machine. And more importantly for how all rotary motion is calculated.

That is the math coordinate system that all the output is based on. That is the baseline origin for all XYZ math. Under CAM with a normal 3+2 SETUP you define your WCS. Sounds like your CAM SETUP is correct but your missing a key aspect in setting up individual Tool Paths.

Yep, I work for a The issue I have is that changing the tool orientation takes the WCS with it, which makes sense for a VMC where the 4th/5th axes are on the table but my machine has a full 5 axis toolhead - I want the co-ordinate system to remain aligned with the stock/model, which is how I need to machine it.' The job itself is an unrolled 3D scan of a fossilized log, and the foam mold I machine will be used to cast a 'pelt' from the log.

It will be possible to modify the post so that it can pass through a rototranslated work plane, but dealing with Biesse NC is a whole different box of frogs due to their proprietary format and it's proving hard enough to get some of the basics nailed down at this stage. In case you're wondering, it is not possible to program for this geometry using swarf or contour, since the surface of the parts is comprised of many many triangles/quads - there are no usable guide curves, and trying to select individual facets is impossible for a job this size.Īside from that, my post does not yet support continuous 5 axis anyhow - that is a work in progress.

It would be far simpler if I was able to export the toolpath in relation to the WCS of my setup - this would still only require XYZ output, since I can manually set the static B/C values at the machine or patch them into my post as user variables.Īny advice on how to accomplish this within Fusion/HSM? Tips and ideas are greatly appreciated, thanks. This is SLOW and not very versatile - I will be running a large number of different part sizes and different tool orientations to selectively clear undercut areas.

I have been able to fudge it by taking the toolpath into the machine's proprietary software and programming the cut onto a custom face, which is just a custom WCS which it is able to rotationally translate onto. The issue I have is that changing the tool orientation takes the WCS with it, which makes sense for a VMC where the 4th/5th axes are on the table but my machine has a full 5 axis toolhead - I want the co-ordinate system to remain aligned with the stock/model, which is how I need to machine it. The approach I am using to access undercuts is 3+2 machining, by using parallel with tool orientation: Yes, a woodworking machine - don't leave yet. I will be machining 100mm slabs of styrofoam using a 5 axis Biesse Rover. I'm currently working on a large project that is a bit of a doozy: organic surfaces with undercuts, converted from a high polygon mesh. Hello, looking some help on a technique I'm trying to resolve.
