Toolpath Generation for 3-Axis CNC machining

Extract the archive and run "python pycam"

As a practical approach, you would probably:

1. for "rough" cutting,

• use the Cylindrical cutter
• with the PushCutter Pathgenerator
• and the Polygon PostProcessor in "x" or "y" mode

2. for "semifinish" cutting,

• use the Cylindrical/Toroidal cutter
• with the PushCutter Pathgenerator
• and the Contour PostProcessor in "xy" mode

3. "finish" cutting

• use the Spherical cutter
• with the DropCutter Pathgenerator
• and the ZigZag PostProcessor in "x" or "y" mode
