Total collaboration every step of the way
Working in the construction industry is no walk in the park; nothing is ever as straight-forward as it appears. Getting the solution you require, delivered at a top-service level requires a wide range of knowledge from many different sources.
When deciding on who to partner with in your project, we understand the need to work with a trusted, experienced team who just ‘get it’. Our team has seen it all before and relish the strategic problem-solving that comes with each new territory.
In an ideal world, our CAM software reads our minds. In the real world, it reads the model. And sometimes, the model lies.
We have all been there. You spend 20 minutes setting up a perfect 3D Adaptive clearing strategy. You click "Generate." The toolpath looks beautiful—until you notice it diving into a bolt hole you forgot to plug, or gouging that delicate thin wall.
Let’s look at the three most powerful ways to edit your toolpaths without regenerating the whole operation. Did your roughing pass just cut through a fixture plate? Is the tool rapiding through a clamp?
Have an HSM edit trick that saves your skin every week? Leave a comment below—we are always looking to shorten those cycle times.
Fortunately, (whether inside Fusion 360 or Inventor) isn't a "delete and restart" kind of program. The true power of HSM lies in the Edit function. If you aren't using the right-click edit tools, you are wasting spindle time and breaking end mills.
Next time a toolpath tries to cut through your vise, don't delete the operation. Right-click > Trim. Fix it in 10 seconds and get back to making chips.
