Toolpathing Strategy

[James M]

Hi,

I have a part that I worked up all the machine paths for. How do I copy the part and associated toolpaths to make additional copies? I'm using Aspire.

James,
I think this is what you're looking for?

Scott,

Thanks for the reply. I was aware of both strategies but I was hoping there was another way. I'm going to have to machine both sides of the part. So I think I'll default to the layers method vs the nesting methodology.

Is it something You can linear array and center in material, and then copy and mirror image to another layer with alignment pins?
Some two sided stuff we did was jigged up at 0,0 in a cam clamped jig after first side was cutout.
That was only for magnet pockets and company info though, so perhaps not pertinent.
Good luck,
scott
