Breaking edge type

In the case of an open contouring it is possible to break the edges in lead in / lead out.

 

 

The method used to break the angle in lead in / out is always chamfering.

 

- It is necessary to limit the tool path for the breaking edge to work on the open part

 

- With starting and ending points.

- Or use the truncated mode in the label .

 

 

 

 

 

 

In that case the tool goes so inside the finish part (unless using the loop method)

 

None

 

Do not perform breaking edge at the lead in or lead out of a open contouring.

Angular

 

A segment is added to the tool path with the indicated angle to calculate the breaking edge.

In the example below TopSolid calculates a chamfer breaking edge with an angle of 120°.

 

Direction

 

A segment is added to the tool path along a direction to caculate the breaking edge.

In the example below TopSolid uses a chamfer breaking edge following the X+ direction.
