I am using Creo Parametric - Release 7.0 (connected) 7.0 7.0.3.0
I have a round part with a "flow channel" that I am trying to rough out trying to pick mill. My work around is to use 4axis trajectory with full size ball endmills and axis shift tools paths.
Any ideas? I have tried cutline however, Can only get the bottom of the radius pick milled.
Hello @Todd_Reiter
If my understanding of your business need is correct, you need a 5 Axis High Speed Milling (ptc.com) which is:
- an enhancement introduced in Creo Parametric 8.0 nicely documented (with a movie accessible from above link, and registered by Pro/NC Product Manager)
- requires 3AXIS_HSM and 3_AND_5_AXIS_HSM licenses, according to what is documented in Help Center here
If you do not have above licenses, and/or no plan to move to Creo 8.0 from a short term perspective, you may consider approaching this with a Swarf Milling sequence:
- Needing NC_Adv_Machining_Set license (documented in article 93948)
- Documented in Help Center here(Creo 8.0 Help Center, but capability already offered in Creo 7.0) and in article 355937.
You can also access an outdated, but nevertheless probably helpful because still effective (still accessing Menu Manager in Creo 7.0) suggested technique on this here.
Regards,
Serge
