nx cam 11 - zlevel profile with finishing pass..

nx cam 11 - zlevel profile with finishing pass..

(OP)
Hi Guys,
sorry if this is a silly question but the zlevel profile op is very quick and easy to use. However it would be great if you could set finishing passes - I can't see how to do this. If not what is the easiest alternative or method to remove stock from an external part wall.
I have been cavity milling and setting trim boundries to create the tool path and adding finishing passes which is very nice but takes a little bit longer to set up...

many thanks for thoughts, insight and suggestions on how to think about this.

cheers,
james

RE: nx cam 11 - zlevel profile with finishing pass..

zlevel is a finishing strategy. It sounds like you want a processor that uses volumes or cut regions, such as cavity milling. If you just want multiple passes, there are other choices.
