The flute length doesn't have an effect on the shape of the cutter paths unless a taper angle is applied. The right click menu is also used to access the HSM tool library, described below. The tool drawing to the right is updated each time a field is exited, to reflect the changed value. The fields below are automatically updated from the tool selected above. In the large area, the tool is selected, or a new tool can be created from the right click menu. In addition, both the ramping and linking moves are freely configurable to match your tool, machine and part. HSM Performance Pack generates lead arcs with optimal smoothness to minimize the tool wear. You can freely configure the lead-in and lead-out moves of the operation. HSM Performance Pack by default maintains the cutting direction as climb at all times for effective high speed machining, but this can be freely controlled by the user to match your tool and machine. Pocket Milling supports rest machining, so that you can use a smaller tool to machine regions which an initial larger tool could not reach. In addition, you can specify a minimum cutting radius to create smoother toolpaths without sharp corners, and you can add finishing passes to a Pocket Milling operation to create a smooth finish of your part.
The options for this include, among others, helixes with controllable radii and ramps. You can select the desired way in which the tool enters the stock and moves into lower cutting layers.
You can select a range in which the horizontal stepover can vary. At each layer, it typically machines starting at the inside of the geometry and then works its way towards the walls where each cutting pass further away from the start resembles the contouring wall as closely as possible.
Pocket milling clears away the material layer by layer. Pocket is HSM Performance Pack’s 3D roughing strategy for effectively clearing large enclosed areas.
