You can generate NC code interactively with Generate NC Code
Interactively
from the Analysis and Output section of the action bar.
In order to customize the file generated, you must use the Technological Set and the PPWords
accordingly. Technological Sets are defined on the Additive Tool and you can write the values
you defined in these sets in the APT file generated using the right PPWords:
- Parameter’s name:
MFG_LASERPATH_TECHNOSET_PARAM_NAME_%index
.
- Parameter’s type:
MFG_LASERPATH_TECHNOSET_PARAM_TYPE_%index
.
- Parameter’s value:
MFG_LASERPATH_TECHNOSET_PARAM_VALUE_%index
.
Replace %index
with the index of the Parameter in the Technological Set. For
the Technological Set’s name the key word to use is
MFG_LASERPATH_TECHNOSET_NAME
.
You can describe 6 words in the PPTable:
NC_LASERPATH_DEF_START
NC_LASERPATH_DEF_END
NC_DED_START_SLICE
NC_DED_END_SLICE
NC_DED_START_MELTING
NC_DED_END_MELTING
NC_LASERPATH_DEF_START
and NC_LASERPATH_DEF_END
define the
start and the end of a strategy in the tool path for contouring or infill.
NC_DED_START_SLICE
and NC_DED_END_SLICE
define the start
and the end of a slice.
NC_DED_START_MELTING
and NC_DED_END_MELTING
define the
beginning or end of material deposition before the beginning of the next move.
The generated files are stored in an NC-Container that is displayed in the tree
once you generate the files.

Note:
You can only generate APT files and not Robotics files.
