How to Use Arc Filtering with High Speed Toolpaths
Optimize dynamic toolpaths, such as OptiRough and Dynamic Mill, through Mastercam arc filtering settings. Linearized toolpaths can be code-heavy and difficult to run, so applying basic arc filter settings can significantly reduce the size of the toolpath file many times over, making it more machine-friendly and efficient to run. Arcs can be created in all three planes of the machine and the tolerance settings can be adjusted to favor arc output over linear, thus enhancing the overall efficiency and manageability of the machining process.
