Machining
 
Feature-based machining allows you to develop a powerful knowledge base of your machining strategies.

Feature-based machining

Feature-based machining allows you to define areas to be machined as features.

This is a more intuitive approach to machining and you are able to apply more intelligence and knowledge in tool-path generation.

Since you always machine features and since the feature types are known, feature-based machining allows you to develop a powerful knowledge base of your machining strategies.

FR technology can be used to automatically extract various kinds of information necessary for machining. For example:

  • Feature parameters (e.g. corner radius, depth of hole, fillet radius etc.) are useful for NC code generation
  • Feature cross-sections are useful for profile-based NC applications, and
  • Feature faces for surface-based NC applications
  • The manufacturing view generates machinable feature information, including multiple alternative machining views of features
