I am trying to generate machine code for an aluminum case using NX3 and I am having some issues getting a clean cutting path.
I am using Cavity Mill on a set of selected faces (all the faces on the outside of a contoured case)
The piece of rectangular blank material will be bolted down in the corners to the mill table, so the corners will remain unmachined.
I am getting a lot of in process workpiece collisions on rapids between cuts. I have enabled the following options and do not know what else to do to avoid these collisions:
--I have set a clearance plane and set the transfer method to clearance plane
--Automatic engagement is set to engage "On Shape"
--Follow Part is the cut method
--Cutting --> Containment is set to use 3D IPW and trim by silhouette
What can I do to be able to machine this part by basically milling a "trench" around the part with no IPW collisions?
