Surface offset for spark gap
Surface offset for spark gap
(OP)
I am designing an electrode for a complex surface plastic part.
I have already expaned the model for shrink, now I need to move all surfaces back .0025" to allow for a spark gap in the EDM process.
When I use the Surface offset, due to the complexity of the surfaces, i get an error "Unable to offset - please try a smaller distance".
Any suggestions on other ways to easily do this?
