Slope Management

Defines the angular domain of the tool feed rate on the finished surface of the part. The user can therefore trim the tool path based on the part's appearance to avoid milling the part walls that could be too steep or too flat.

These values define the maximum and minimum slope angles between which milling can be performed.

Maximum Slope

This field allows you to define the angle in relation to the horizontal, defining the lower angle limit of the tool.

Minimum Slope

This field allows you to define the angle in relation to the horizontal, defining the upper angle limit of the tool.

Using the slope of the paths (only in raster passes)

The surface normal is used to calculate the slope.

Using the slope of the paths (only in raster passes)

This is the tool path that is used to calculate the slope. This option is used for two-size radiused mills.

: For a hemispherical mill, checking or unchecking this box gives the same result.
