You feed the CAM system with a smooth shape, that spits out G-code, then you can run a simulator and see what shape you will really get, with the lumps and bumps and missed bits and gouges to bits that shouldn't have been touched. You might then, for example, decide on a smaller stepover, or to run the finishing cuts in a different direction, for example. -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Shape the Mobile Experience: Free Subscription Software experts and developers: Be at the forefront of tech innovation.
