Introduction to Efficient Machining of 3D Parts

This tip and trick was included at the User Group Meeting in 2015 held in the UK (Wootton Wawen, Warwickshire) and US ( Las Vegas, Nevada).

In this video, we discuss the efficient machining of 3D parts. We discuss how to look at our 3D projects differently, and start breaking it up into 2D and 2.5D toolpaths, so that we only ever machine 3D objects with 3D toolpaths. In practising these methods we should benefit from a much better quality of finish but also one that was faster to machine.
