• User controls:
– If Length of cut or
Time in cut areused, user canspecify when to
retract tool
• Only betweenpasses
• Exact length and
time

• Use solidproperties added:
– Accesses Parasolidkernel directly
– Provides faster,
more accurate
profile

• Old method
– Multiple arc segments with different
radii and centers– Other inaccuracies

X5 Lathe Enhancements
• New method
– Much faster, more accurate geometry
– Note that the internal crosssection was also found

• Secondary feed rate and spindlespeed added:
– Allows increase in speed toaccommodate for smaller radii
– User selects radius to apply new
settings

X5 Lathe Enhancements
• With Optimize
– Tool radius is .03125
– Note that .02radius is gone
• Without Optimize
– Tool radius is .03125
– Note .02 radius
