Hi all. Using Meshcam is it only possible to machine from the top down? or is it possible to machine up one side, change the B axis angle then down the other...
Although you may be able to come up with a way to achieve something like that it would be very difficult. Also, MeshCAM cannot calculate the offset of a...
Hi Robert. Thanks for the reply , If I go with your option of rotating the material, will Meshcam rotate the A axis with the use of a rotary table while...

The critical thing for 2-sided machining is to make sure the y dimension of the stock is accurately measured and specified when the toolpath is generated. If...
