Cube in cube
Posted: Thu 14 Jun , 2007 13:19 pm
We are attempting to produce an object that gives a cube within a cube with a hole through the centre. This has been modelled in Inventor and imported to Quickcam Pro.
We have selected spiral path for simulation but this gives two problems.
1 The cutter traverses down the centre and works outover. How do we get it to work from the oputside to centre. This is not a problem machining foam but if we were to use aluminium for example the cutter would break.
2 The centre hole of 10mm diameter using a 6mm slot drill does not machine the whole edge of the hole. The two larger diameters to produce the object are OK.
Any ideas???????????
