This toolpath has to be created with Pocketing + open contour + HSM definition.
IF you start with the default operation you have to modify and set a “lot of “parameters and always the same. With NPX (NC Knowledge Manager role) you can create a command with your default and above all, hide unnecessary parameters (see picture).
With the sample, you have only to select the tool (query preset) / select the geometry (bottom face / switch 2 soft boundaries to hard) / check offset on boundaries (- 0.5 tool dia in the video to have this toolpath but can be tuned ) / define or validate the machining and progressive directions.
Machine operation UI is simplified (no finishing, no multilevel, only 2 macros ….) to display only parameters used for this expected toolpath
At the end of the video I define a “repetition” to duplicate the toolpath on the second stock
Machining Cell Know-how and the command creation have to be defined with NPX role
The created command can be used without NPX
