Translations:CAM Surface/36/en

From FreeCAD Documentation
  • Rotational scans require much more time and processing than Planar scans. Factors affecting processing time include: Sample Interval, Step Over, tool diameter, and model size. Again, rotational scans can take a long time. Some might take 3, 5 or 10 minutes or longer.
  • For time purposes, it is better that you not recompute a rotational scan after every property change; rather, consider one of the following:
    • use the ' change all settings with ENTER key ' technique mentioned in Step 2 above, then Refresh the operation.
    • deactivate the operation with the Active toggle tool, make your changes to the operation's properties, then click the Active icon again to re-activate the operation - which triggers a recompute internally.
  • The 3D Surface operation is still considered an experimental feature as of 2019-06-25. As such, it may contain a few bugs yet to be clearly identified. Please report bugs and issues in the FreeCAD Path/CAM Forum.
  • The built in CAM Simulator does NOT support 4th-axis simulation. You will need to use a third party simulator to inspect or verify paths visually. See the Resources section below for suggestions.
  • You will likely see red rotational lines around your model in the viewport. This is normal in FreeCAD for the time being.
