Hello everyone,
I have an issue with a 3D model that I'm test cutting. My model has concave sides and I was thinking that if slice it down the middle machining from top and bottom, I should be able to use a tapered ball nose to machine the two halves and then put them together. But, for some reason the slices are coming out simplified without the concave profile. I'm not mistakenly trying to program the router to cut underneath something which is why I'm slicing it in the middle of the concave so that can't be it. The 3D model has been tested and exported from Rhino and SketchUp, so I dont think it's a compatibility issue. And the model has been tested in both PW3D and Aspire. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
-Patrick
