NX8.5 - Cam - IPW(blank) resolution & quality

NX8.5 - Cam - IPW(blank) resolution & quality

NX8.5 - Cam - IPW(blank) resolution & quality

(OP)
Hello,
I have some problems with quality of my machined blank IPW..
While I'am simulating code by Toll path - Simulate, the IPW have a fine surface after machining, its very clear.
But If I tried to use standard Verify option, the surface of IPW in 2D Dynamic or 3D Dynamic is rough or even frayed.
Whether it could be 3d video card or nx internal settings?
On many youtube visualisations i havnt seen those ipw survace like my..
I was trying to make some improvement in Visualisation performane and next in Utilities >> Customer deafults >> manufacturing >> Simulation & Visualization >> IPW
Currently without success. Just, I want to get blurred and smooth surface on Verify option in cam manufacturing, same like in Simulate.
Attached picture below, best regards

Too bad it doesn't render as accurately as the 2D Dynamic Visualization does.

I'm not impressed.

To the Toolmaker, your nice little cartoon drawing of your glass looks cool, but your solid model sucks. Do you want me to fix it, or are you going to take all week to get it back to me so I can get some work done?

RE: NX8.5 - Cam - IPW(blank) resolution & quality

There have been a lot of imporvements in the last 2 releases, and the customer defaults now allow setting some new tolerances. I would get this to GTAC and look at it in NX 10.0.1.

What you see on the screen is heavily dependent on your customer defaults settings, the size of the part, and the size of the tool.

Hey again.
about comment: "I would get this to GTAC and look at it in NX 10.0.1" I don't have NX 10 :( Still working on NX 8.5
About IPW quality in Verify: the last blank model was delated and generated again with some revisions.. in workpiece too (geometry view).
After path generation the ipw looks better. But still I am wondering how to manipulate with this last visible outbrakes on my blank surface in 2D or 3D.

Anyway thx for help smile
