  1. 12D ContouringDefine a 2D contour toolpath using a longer cutting tool suitable for foam cutting. Adjust job assignment parameters, including top and bottom levels, and generate the toolpath while checking for axis limits and collisions. Finalize the toolpath by simulating and ensuring clean node statuses before progressing to 3D and 5D contouring techniques.Video lesson
  2. 23D Contouring3D contouring involves selecting a curve and assigning a job in the machining environment. Users set offsets and tool orientation to ensure the tool follows the 3D trajectory accurately. The process includes generating the toolpath, checking for collisions, and simulating the toolpath for validation.Video lesson
  3. 36D ContouringDefine and generate a 6D contouring path using a rotary turntable to optimize tool orientation and reduce workload. Set up the operation by selecting a 5D curve and configuring the toolpath to avoid collisions. Simulate the toolpath to evaluate performance and determine the benefits of using a turntable in complex machining scenarios.Video lesson
