Importing and creating Tool Holders

In this course video, we’re going to be talking about how to add and use your own custom toolholding geometry. Toolholders are, of course incredibly important – not only do they keep your cutting tool in the spindle, but they’re also critical for determining tool reach, and are a vital aspect of ensuring accurate collision detection in all of your machining operations. There are multiple ways of importing toolholder designs, ranging from a simple import of a 3d model through to using dimensions sourced online (when you don’t have access to the actual object in front of you) to define the toolholder characteristics. By the end of this video, we’ll have demystified the process for you.
