Operation-oriented Machining

Operation-oriented machining is a method where you define each operation one-by-one.
When you define an operation you decide (using the geometry tab) which areas of the part
you want to machine with that particular operation.
This tutorial teaches you how to: 
  • define the operations necessary for the machining of the part below,
  • run the program to create the tool paths,
  • check for residual material,
  • rework the unmachined areas,
  • and produce an APT file and a workshop document.
