Have you ever wondered how to manufacture a chamfer along a 3D edge? Creating the geometry while designing is easy, but machining it is a little trickier. The trick is to use a Scallop operation and a ball endmill, surprising as that may be! You can use 2D chamfer to create intelligent toolpaths, but it doesn’t apply to 3D chamfers. Trace may seem like a tempting option, but often it can result in significant gouges in your part.<\/p>\n

In today’s QUICK TIP, we’ll go through the steps to generate a 3D chamfer, so next time one pops up, you can actually machine it!<\/p>\n
