Tri-dexel stock model
Stock is processed through a volumetric representation sampled along X, Y, and Z. This produces a readable 3D representation of the machined surface for 2.5D profile, pocket, and drill operations.
CAM / SIMULATION
FaberCAM visualizes 2.5D material removal together with the toolpath, operation timeline, and machined surface.
QUALITY APPROACH
The goal is not only to show cutter motion. It is to review operation order, cutting coverage, and the resulting surface in one decision context.
Stock is processed through a volumetric representation sampled along X, Y, and Z. This produces a readable 3D representation of the machined surface for 2.5D profile, pocket, and drill operations.
Resolution is not selected from stock size alone: the cutting footprint and smallest active tool diameter are considered. On large stock, compute budget is directed toward the cut region.
Z levels and operation transitions are revealed progressively during playback rather than jumping directly to the final surface, making pass order and material removal easier to inspect.
Playback uses a motion timeline that accounts for acceleration, deceleration, and transitions. Review is based on the temporal operation flow as well as the nominal toolpath.
PRODUCTION SAFETY
This simulation is for pre-production visual and operational review. Tool, holder, work zero, post, controller, workholding, and motion limits must still be verified on the actual machine or its approved workflow.
