Machining strategy

[ljdm]

Cutting reliefs - pros/cons raster vs 3D offset machining? Time to cut (in simulation) is a little longer with offset, wondering which will give better results.

Lou,
We just use raster and seems to work fine for us. I usually open the sbp file in preview mode with settings the same as the machine. Then check the carve time. I normally add about 12 minutes for each hour it says it takes and that gives me a pretty accurate carve time. Haven't used the 3D offset so can't help you there.
good luck,
Shari
