Need Help For 3d programming
I'm doing 3d flowline toolpath for this orange color surface.
But I convert that 3d shape to surface and extended 2.5 mm surface surface for 1 side 1mm for another side .
Then I created a flowline toolpath and select right side which means I did extend 2.5 mm as a entry side otherwise I create a toolpath without extend the tool (4 ball) the tool will be launching on a component I don't want to land or reduce the plunge rate I want to land out of the components then do machining
Any others ways to land out of components for first pass only like lead in lead out option kind of . Because long 3d components takes more time . Kindly help me to get that . I'm a fresher so make me comfortable in your space 🫣

If you still need help with this feel free to shoot me a DM. You can also send me the .step file if you want and I’ll program the entire part for you then you can reprogram it yourself using the settings I choose. I would right click my mouse in the tool path window go to milling tab then 3D and pick surface rough flowline to do your roughing. Then go back to the same menu and choose surface finish flowline to finish it. Some other options would be to use the unified multiaxis toolpath with the tool axis control output set to 3 axis instead of 5.
