Contour Surface Milling an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
In this subsection, we will employ a 3axis mill to conduct a surface contour milling for the same ruled surface. If you choose the ballnose cutter as defined in OP030 and NC Sequence: 1: Contour Surface Milling, you should see that the toolpath generated by Pro/MFG looks like the one shown in Figure a. Is the toolpath different from that of the 5axis mill defined in operation OP010?
