5-Axis machining centers can rotate on two additional rotary axes (A and B) which help the cutting tool approach the part from all directions. 3-axis CNC machining move a part in two directions (X and Y), and the tool moves up and down (Z). In machining 5-axis typically refers to the ability of a CNC machine to move a part or a tool on five different axes at the same time. Pencil finishing: trace a thin cutter along sharp concave – inside – corners to clean them up Use world or construction plane or object u, v, and n coordinates to determine the direction of the smoothing.Roughing: fast and efficient removal of material to create an object with a rough surfaceįinishing: parallel or z-level smoothing of the rough surface with a set level of smoothness Fix Boundaries may cause undesirable seams or singularities in closed curves and surfaces.If all of the object points are selected, Rhino perceives this as the whole object being selected.SubD: Surface points or control net points along the boundaries will not be modified. The edges and trims of trimmed surfaces will be modified if they do not coincide with the surface boundary. Surfaces: The control points along the boundaries of the surface will not be modified. Meshes: Vertices along naked edges will not be modified.Ĭurves: End control points will not be modified. Prevents naked edges or endpoints from being moved. Right-click a checkbox twice to set all direction options.Right-click a checkbox once to set one direction option and clear all others.Smooths only in the specified x, y, or z direction. Right-click the check box you want to check.To set one check box and clear the others The selected object points will move slightly to smooth the object. Or, select object points, edges or faces with Ctrl+Shift.Ĭlick the check boxes for the coordinate directions and adjust the Smooth factor.
