Description

Education Objectives 
By the end of this training session, users will be able to: 

  • Open and edit a CAD file to machine it.
  • Create a workzone and manage workzone information.
  • Create and edit the main 3D toolpaths for roughing, finishing and remachining.
  • Understand and define the standard and specific parameters of the main 3D toolpaths.
  • Create the CAM entities required for various toolpaths (Views, Curves, Points).
  • Simulate and edit a toolpath.
  • Generate CN files and HTML documentation for the workzone.
  • Copy a workzone and generate a symmetrical workzone.
  • Users will able to prepare and create a workzone with various toolpath that allow the machining of parts with mainly complex 3D shapes.
  • This training is complementary to W2D FULL and allows users to machine 3D complex shapes.


Target Audience 

  • This training session is intended for new users of WORKNC with machining experience.
