WEBCAST Q&A

Question from Alex:  Does changing the retract surface to a curved surface reduce the accuracy of the machining?

Answer:  No, basically it should only effect the start and stop in your toolpath.  It controls the amount of pull out only.  It will only effect the entry and exit.

WEBCAST Q&A

Question from Dennis:  Can you split the toolpath so the next tool starts where the first one ended?

Answer:  It won't remember the last position of the tool in the 1st toolpath to start there on the 2nd toolpath.  Something that works well for this is using "at a location" for axis control.

WEBCAST Q&A

Question from Wayne:  Is there a collision detection option so we don't have to check only by eyeballing it?

Answer:  Yes, you can turn on and off collision detection.  The main thing that eyeballing does is it helps with deciding how to fix a problem with the toolpath.

"Thank you for the webinar. The demo part shown was quite simple, but I’m specifically interested in complex parts like impellers. Can you demonstrate how Creo's multi-axis manufacturing handles impeller machining—particularly in terms of collision avoidance, tool tilting, and roughing/finishing strategies for blades and hub areas?"
