Re: [mfg-smartcam] Wrapping a Flat pattern around a cylinder

Steve,   Yes.   Build your flat pattern at the level (radius) of the wrap. Make sure it's on the XY plane. Create the tool path then wrap the tool path at the same radius.   Dave ----- Original Message ----- From: Steve Chastain To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 14, 2002 3:13 PM Subject: [mfg-smartcam] Wrapping a Flat pattern around a cylinder Group,   Good afternoon. I am using Freeform Machining and would like to wrap a flat pattern around a cylinder to cut a cam slot in the perimeter. Can this be done?   Steve Chastain Viper Northwest
