![]() ![]() So if you import a full solid model and select it as part surfaces, toolpath containment lets you program some areas of the model without worrying about the tool colliding with the model elsewhere. Regardless of the type of containment you use, though, the tool will never violate a part or check surface. Material boundaries act to limit the stock: the tool can pass through the side of a Material containment boundary, but it won't do any cutting outside. Part boundaries are "tool-to" boundaries, like the one above the tool edge can come up to the boundary but not cross it. You can do all sorts of things with toolpath containment you can have as many boundaries as you like, and using the chaining dialog, you can designate containment boundaries as either Part or Material. Suppose you're programming a VoluMill 3-Axis toolpath and you need to get the top of the material from the model. ![]() ![]() Most dialog boxes give you an easy way for you to get information from the model into the dialog box.
