Trochiodal/Adaptive Routing

Hi all,

Now that I have my post processor sorted out and I am able to cut, I am wondering if Sheetcam has the capability of Trochiodal/Adaptive path cutting? Read a lot about it and it seems like a great way to be able to make deeper and better cuts in aluminum. Any thoughts are appreciated. Below is a link to a video depicting this type of path in action.

Thanks,

No, SheetCam can't do this. I've looked into it a few times but every time I try figuring out how to actually generate those tool paths my brain starts melting and running out of my ears. :shock:

That's funny Les. Maybe someday :wink:
