Projecting Toolpath & Zig-Zag Cycle (Graphic)

Here's an example of a pocketing toolpath that is projected onto multiple surfaces. The Work Step uses the Zig-Zag pocketing cycle to machine the closed 2D boundary curve that is assigned as the path curve. By adding all relevant surfaces to the "Work Step Surfaces " table on the 3D Cycle Data tab of the Work Step Data dialog, the system projects the resulting toolpath onto the surfaces.
