Creating Multi-Axis Positioning Toolpaths. In Week 1, we'll cover the use of multi-axis controls to position and machine geometry. Multi-axis positioning lets us use 4th and 5th axis control to locate the part and tool but utilize 2.5 and 3-axis cutting operations to actually remove material. Hours to complete.

5 Axis cnc machining is unique in its ability to effectively process part sizes and shapes with essentially infinite possibilities. Like 3 axis machines, the cutting tool of a 5-axis precision machining center moves across the X, Y, and Z linear axes, but also rotates on the A and B axes – allowing the cutting tool to approach components from any direction.

Access: Ribbon: CAM tab 3D Milling panel Contour The Contour Finishing strategy creates toolpaths with constant Z height along the contours of the part. The Z steps are apart in Z by the stepdown parameter. Contour finishing is most effective when machining steep areas of the part. As with all finishing strategies, the machining can be limited by a tool contact angle.

Face milling, in general, is defined as the process of cutting surfaces that are perpendicular to the cutter axis, or the faces of a part. Shell mills and fly cutters are most often used for face milling, but depending on what kind of surface finish you're looking for, you could use an end mill

With 3-axis machining, you program the three linear axes to achieve the desired machining operations. The contour is milled line by line by moving the three linear axes. If the tool also has to be set at an angle, you will need rotary axes as well. The inclination of the tool (i.e. the tool orienta-tion) is changed using two axes of rotation,

When someone uses the term "5-axis" they are typically referring to the ability of a CNC machine to move a part or a tool on five different CNC axes at the same time. 3-axis machining centers move a part in two directions (X and Y), and the tool moves up and down (Z). 5-Axis CNC machining centers can rotate on two additional rotary axes (A and B) which help the cutting tool approach the
