    Calculation minimum Z Retract

    One interesting project. 5-Axis CNC, after each operation 3+2 moving to ZMAX, then down, and repeat it each time. I add DLL, linked to postprocessor, and calculate minimum Z_retract. One note - this CNC machine havenot TRAORI, CYCLE800 only. In this case I make 100 intermediate position for Z...

    Reverse Engineering surfaces to solid bodies

    Send me any your STL example. I will convert it to SolidBody. And after it we can discuss "sharedability" of DLL.

    NX CAM

    Object Transform for Tollpath usually working no problem, like "gun".... You can move toolpath, Copy toolpath or create instances. For last case any changes for parent will reflected on a kids.

    Display Chuck in Manufacturing Turning?

    It not so easy. You must defone all kinematics of your machine with Machine Tool Builder application - see examples in installed_machines folder. You need to define and discribe your chuck as device - see example in device folder. And you need a license for Machine Configurator.

    Display Chuck in Manufacturing Turning?

    1. You upload only top file of chuck assembly, impossible to use it. 2. Not so important - I can show it on my example: And - you can see short video. But - you must build CNC model, add your chucks as devices...
