Issue:
For example, is it possible to create a boundary for the STL file and machine it in two stages — first the upper half, then the lower half — as shown in the attached image?
Solution:
Imported STL files cannot be directly used to create a profile in CAM. Please follow these steps:
- First scenario:
In 3D CAD, lines can be extracted using Point Cloud→Trace Sharp Edge, which can then be used to create features in CAM machining, such as creating machining boundaries (profile). - Second scenario:
Machining boundaries can also be created by directly drawing sketches in CAM.
