I am sorry to bring it up, but someone has to do it.
If you on a regular basis gets in contact with a CAM program or a CNC milling machine tool, you better keep reading.
They said it was for roughing and so much faster, but that was only because they did not know how to explain it to you. If you are in the game of removing metal chips, making money and at the same time take care of your endmills and machine. Then, You need to know that smarter toolpaths exist. Adaptive Clearing, Vortex, Dynamic Milling, Volumill and whatever other names the CAM companies could come up with are your answer.
If you are using any kind of professional CAM system, but still machine like it was 1996…Just watch the video…
Sincerely,
Lars
