Each pattern has unique characteristics that make them appropriate for semi-finishing and finishing selected areas or the entire model. Generally, these patterns are projected onto the model surfaces with the tool stepping over using a constant value for X and Y. Those type options are slice, flowline, radial, and spiral. The Pattern Project operation is a 3-axis finishing operation type that removes material based on the selected pattern. In this article, I will be focusing on the toolpath control options you get when using the Pattern Project strategy included with CAMWorks Milling Standard.
