New Enhancement to Pocketing’s Entry and Exit Motion

Extend toolpath is a new option on the Cut Pattern page within Multiaxis Pocketing’s Wall, Floor, and Rest Finishing strategies. For closed toolpaths, this allows overlapping entry and exit motion. Extending the toolpath helps to improve surface finish by ensuring proper material clean up and an absence of tooling marks entering or exiting the cut. The following images show toolpath motion with and without Extend toolpath selected.
