Rest material on production part
Rest machining is employed in roughing and cutting only occurs if material remains in a given area. In 2D operations within SolidCAM, the amount and location of rest material remaining is computed by having knowledge of the original stock, final part model, toolpaths generated, and cutting tools that have been employed. After each successive machining step, the rest material will be automatically updated. Rest material functions are also available for 3D and 3 + 2 multi-sided machining and also in 5-axis machining.
