Description

This tool creates a new 3D Surface Operation. A 3D Surface takes into account the top surface of the entire Job.

The 3D Surface Tool interfaces to OpenCamLib.pyd, a 3rd party Open Source module that generates tool paths from a 3D Model. OpenCamLib is not integrated directly into FreeCAD to ensure their license is not violated. It requires that Experiemental Features are enabled.


Usage

  1. Press the File:Path-3DSurfaxce.png 3D Surface button.
  2. Select the tool controller for the Operation from the Tool controller dialogue pop up window.
  3. Set the Finish Depth properties
  4. Select between Dropcutter and Waterline for the Tool algorithm.
  5. Apply, then Hit OK to confirm.
