- Three access toolpads make cuts while traveling in the X, Y, and Z axis simultaneously. These cuts are much more complex than two access cuts and require multiple operations to complete. To accomplish curved surfaces like the arm rest or belly cut we must first make a horizontal roughing pass. And before we make that pass, there's a couple pieces of guidance geometry we have to lay in place in advance of creating the MOP set. So, if you take a look here I've already made sure that my bridges are showing, that's step one. I also need to make sure that I have a plane that effectively catches the bit and prevents it from just cutting downwards forever. So, this plane that we established in a previous video is 1.25 inches beneath 0 in Z. Finally, while looking at this model from the top we have to establish an X, Y boundary in terms of how far out the bit can cut and how far in it cuts. So, how far out is already there. Again, we made this offset path in a previous video. So, the last…
