HSR & HSM Strategies

HSR Roughing

Contour Roughing

Pocket-style tool path for sections generated on different Z-levels, specified by a defined Step down.

more Information
Hatch Roughing

Typically generates a straight line tool path on each level of cutting. Useful for the machining of soft materials and parts containing shallow areas.

more Information
Rest Roughing

Completes stock removal for areas missed by larger tools. Uses an updated stock model of the remaining material to avoid air-cutting.

more Information
Hybrid Rib Roughing

For machining of thin walls with very exotic materials, including titanium, graphite, etc. Combines roughing and finishing tool paths to preserve the highest possible part rigidity.

HM Roughing (Hybrid Machining)

The HM Roughing strategy reduces rapid movements by controlling the tool motion to remain on the part following previous cut paths, instead of rapid feeding to the new position. Additional tool path optimization features include the automatic machining of flat areas only, rather than adding extra Z-levels to clean up planar zones. This roughing strategy enables the use of a large step over (greater than 50%).
