surface machining

Dear community:

I have some question about the surface machining strategy:

  1. about the roughing strategy, i notice that all the roughing operation do not support the 3/5 axis converter function, so is it means the roughing operation is only 3 axis roughing?
  2. compare the NTX and NMD role, i notice that there are sweeping and multi-sweeping, spiral milling and multi-axis spiral milling, contour-driven sweeping and multi-axis contour-driven sweeping, in the NMD role, the strategy(sweeping/spiral milling/contour-driven sweeping) also support 3/5 axis converter, so what's difference between these similar strategies? or the what's the application scenarios?

Thanks in advanced.
