Lesson 8 - Patterns

Objectives

Exercise 1 - Patterns Applied to 3D Offset Machining

• Import Model…\PMData\Models\Speaker.dgk

• Define an Ø6 Ballnose tool and name BN6

• Define a Block to Min Max limits and calculate Safe Area to defaults

• Select the 3 surfaces shown highlighted above and create a Selected


Surface Boundary to 0.02 tolerance

• From the Pattern Tab select create a new Pattern followed by insert an
active Boundary

• Un-draw all and turn on Pattern. In Curve editor select the Cut tool
and cut at the points shown below. Delete unwanted segments and Accept
changes

• Open a 3D Offset Finishing strategy and use Pattern 1 and Boundary 1 to


limit

• Make a copy of Toolpath with no Pattern selected and compare the


difference

• Select File & Save As Project


to…\COURSEWORK\PMProjects\Speaker1

Summary
In the above exercise, you are now able to complete the following:

• Create a Selected Surface Boundary and inserted it into a Pattern where it


was edited to create an automatic pattern between the selected segments
• Pattern finishing strategy

• We then looked at modifying a pattern by using the cut tool to create a


segment that could be used for a pattern in 3D Offset

Exercise 2 – Deep Pattern

• Open Project…\PMData\Projects\DeepPattern

Apply the following:

• Create a Ø5 ballnose tool


• Calculate Block to Min/Max limits
• Calculate Safe Area
• Reset lead in/outs to None

• Create a Pattern finishing strategy using Pattern 1, with a Base position


set to Automatic and Thickness of -3.0 and Calculate

A message will appear telling us that the toolpath has failed due to the size of the tip
radius of the tool

• Make a copy of Pattern 1. From the Curve Editor select Embed

• In the Embed Pattern form, choose Drop from the Method pulldown menu
and set Tolerance to 0.01, Apply

This has now created an Embedded pattern onto the 3d surface

• Rename embedded pattern as Embed 1

• Change Base position to Drive curve, apply an Axial Offset of (-3.0).
Turn Gouge check off and the Thickness to (0.0). Calculate

Toolpath now requires multiple cuts

• Enable Editing of toolpath, select Multiple Cuts page and from the
Mode menu select Offset down, tick Upper limit and enter -1.0 and
Calculate and save Project

• Select File & Save As Project


to…\COURSEWORK\PMProjects\DeepPattern1

Summary
In the above exercise, you are now able to complete the following:

• Create a toolpath from an embedded pattern and added 2 further step-


downs
