Creating a Roughing Rework Operation

You can rework a part.

Before you begin:
  • You must have defined a rough stock in the part operation. A rough stock that is defined in the part operation before starting the definition of the manufacturing program will be used for all of the successive machining operations, each working on the residual material left by the machining operation before it.
  • You must have computed at least one machining operation prior to this one in the manufacturing program.
  • The rough stock used for a manufacturing program where you insert a reworking operation must be topologically closed, that is, it cannot be formed by a set of faces.
  • Roughing rework does not function correctly if you have a rough stock in several parts because the rework rough stock will be defined as the containment box around them.
  • Optional: modify any parameter other than the ones described below in the dialog box.

  1. Hide the rough stock using its context menu.
  2. Fully expand the manufacturing program. Select a roughing operation that has already been computed.
  3. From the Surface Machining section of the action bar, click Roughing .
    A Roughing entity is added to the program. The dialog box opens at the Geometry tab .
  4. Still in the Geometry tab:
    1. Click the red area in the sensitive icon and select the part in the work area.
    2. Double-click anywhere in the work area to confirm your selection and redisplay the dialog box.
  5. Select the Tool tab to choose a tool. Set its diameter according to your needs in the dialog box that is displayed.
  6. Click Display or Simulate to check the validity of the machining operation.
    • The tool path is computed.
    • A progress indicator is displayed.
    • You can cancel the tool path computation at any moment before 100% completion.
  7. Click OK in the Display or Simulate dialog box, and again in the main dialog box to create the machining operations.
    The tool path is created.
