Access:
-
For Technology, choose Volume Milling as the main selection, and Legacy Procedures > ZCut Parallel as the subselection.
In ZCut milling, volume material is removed from enclosed regions defined by a boundary contour and islands. The milling follows the surfaces.
In ZCut Parallel, milling is performed by cutter passes that are parallel when viewed from the Z direction (the milling follows surfaces rather than cutting in Z layers).
