Camworks tutorial7/8/2023 Refer to the 2.5x engrave feature section for steps to create the feature.ģ. The machining depth will be defined in the 3 axis Curve Project operation. ![]() The end condition is not important for this feature definition. Either select the discrete surfaces to engrave on, or select All Displayed surfaces.Ģ. The operation type is a 3 axis Curve Project operation definition.ġ. This method requires two CAM feature types Multi Surface feature and 2.5x Engrave feature. The SOLIDWORKS text sketch is still created on a plane, but is then projected onto a non-planar surface by the CAM feature definition. If you interactively inserted a Contour Mill operation for the engrave feature, you will need to adjust the parameters from their default settings to establish the desired toolpath. The default Engrave strategy will set the most commonly applied parameter settings to the Contour Mill operation. Adjust the operation parameters to establish the desired output and generate the toolpath. Generate the operation plan for the defined engrave feature to establish the Contour Mill operation.ĥ. Then select OK to accept the feature definition.Ĥ. This value can be overwritten in the operation definition if needed. Set the feature End Condition to the desired engraving depth. Select the associated text sketch from the Available Sketches list and confirm that it becomes populated in the Selected entities list.ģ. ![]() Insert a 2.5x Feature and select the Type 'Engrave Feature'.Ģ. The 2.5x feature type is an engrave feature and will use a 2.5x Contour Mill operation to create the toolpath.ġ. ![]() ![]() The desired engrave feature (Text Sketch) is constructed on a flat/planar surface of the part. This matrix shows the associated features and operations based on the axis quantity. The SOLIDWORKS document text font used is the CAMWorks font. This document will present the process of developing text engraving toolpath for 2.5-axis, 3-axis and 4-axis(wrapped) feature and operation types.
