6. Z-LEVEL Milling
With Z-Level Milling, you can do the
following:
Maintain the tool in constant contact with the material. The following
options let you cut an entire region without lifting the cutter.
6. Z-LEVEL Milling
Z-Level Milling has the following advantages for semifinishing and finishing:
Advantages
Zlevel does not require blank geometry.
Zlevel has steep containment.
When cutting depth first, Zlevel orders by shape, where Cavity Milling orders
by region.
On closed shapes, Zlevel can move from level to level by ramping directly on
the part, to create a helical-like path.
On open shapes, Zlevel can cut in alternating directions, creating a zig-zag
motion down a wall.
