The relative spacing of the passes is indicated in the diagram next to the list. The Pass Depths section at the top of the form shows a list of the current pass depths. button will open a new dialog that enables the specific number and height of passes to be set directly. The Passes section of the 2D Profile Toolpath page indicates how many passes will be created with the current settings. Nevertheless, there are some occasions where the exact step down for a given profile pass needs to be more precisely controlled - when cutting into laminated material, for example. It is nearly always desirable to benefit from the significantly reduced machining time of cutting profiles using less passes if possible. However, by default Aspire will also modify the precise step down by up to 15% in either direction, if by doing so it is able to total number of passes required to reach the desired cut depth. When a profile toolpath is created, the Pass Depth value associated with the selected tool (part of the tool's description in the Tool Database) is used to determine the number of passes needed to profile down to the specified Cut Depth. Hovering the mouse cursor over the tool name will display a tool tip indicating where in the Tool Database the tool was selected from. See the section on the Tool Database for more information on this.Ĭlicking the Edit button opens the Edit Tool form which allows the cutting parameters for the selected tool to be modified, without changing the master information in the database.

The depth of the profile toolpath relative to the Start Depth.Ĭlicking the Select button opens the Tool Database from which the required tool can be selected. If machining into the bottom of an existing pocket or stepped region, the depth of the pocket / step must be entered.

When cutting directly into the surface of a job the Start Depth will usually be 0. Specifies the depth at which the Profile toolpath is calculated. In addition, the program will always cut the inner vectors before the outer vectors to ensure the part remains attached to the original material as long as possible. If you have vectors which are nested (like the letter 'O'), the program will automatically determine the nesting and cut the correct side of the inner and outer vectors. When working with open vectors the profile toolpaths can be to the Left, to the Right or On the selected vectors.Ĭlicking this icon opens the 2D Profile Toolpath form which is shown at the right the functions in this form are described on the following pages.

Profile toolpaths can be outside, inside or on the selected vectors, automatically compensating for the tool diameter and angle for the chosen cut depth. Options provide the flexibility for cutting shapes out with optional Tabs / bridges plus an Allowance over/undercut to ensure perfect edge quality. Profile Machining is used to cut around or along a vector.
