3X Geodesic > Tool Axis Control

3X Geodesic is a high quality toolpath that calculates an even 3D step over complex parts. It includes support for guide curves and undercut and considers the holder to prevent collisions. It is typically used for parts that require a high quality surface finish, such as mold and die cores and/or cases where a continuous toolpath (start-to-end without reentries) is required. This procedure is identical to 5X Geodesic.
