Overview of 3D Cycles

Anfang  Zurück  Weiter

The predefined jobs are subdivided into base areas in accordance with the cycles in use: roughing, finishing, rest machining, drilling.

 

 

Arbitrary stock roughing

Z-constant removal of randomly formed blanks with the option of blank tracking.

Suitable for rough preparatory work such as stripping all necessary areas in order to expose the part for the next finishing steps.

Blank tracking allows you to obtain an exact situation of the blank after the machining process.

Suitable for rest machining. In particular for materials that are difficult to cut (cobalt chrome), this can prevent breaking a tool.

It requires a longer calculation time due to the complex calculation for blank tracking.

 

Profile finishing

Cross-surface, collision-free milling with different milling strategies using guide curves; optional slope-dependent machining.

XY-optimized machining is possible for

the X-axis and Y-axis machining profiles.        

Suitable for finishing the part surface of the occlusal side and the cavity side outside of the cavities and for machining the inlay/onlays within the margin lines.

 

Complete finishing        

Z-constant finishing with automatic pocket-shaped machining of flat areas.

Suitable for finishing the part surface of the occlusal side and the cavity side outside of the cavities.

Enables low-risk standard machining of part surfaces, in particular for materials that are difficult to cut.

 

Equidistant finishing

Finishing with constant area infeed; suitable in particular for high-speed milling.

The machining is performed equidistant within a closed guide curve or flowing between two guide curves.

Ideal for fine finishing of areas around the margin line and the inner areas of the copings for 3X machining.

 

Z-level finishing

Z-constant finishing with optional slope-dependent machining.

Suitable for finishing the part surface of the occlusal side and the cavity side outside of the cavities.

Less suitable for finishing plane surfaces.

 

Automatic rest machining

Targeted rework-machining of individual areas that require further processing after the finishing process.

Rest machining is performed based on the preceding tool, but without blank tracking.

Less accurate but sufficient for the machining of softer materials; relatively short calculation time.

 

3D axis parallel peeling

Suitable for roughing with grinding tools, as the tool can also utilize the shank sections – depends on the shape and definition of the tool. Machining is performed orthogonally to the blank.

 

3D U peeling

For roughing with grinding tools. Processing takes place on three sides of the part.

         Caution:

         A holder open on three sides must be used, e.g., for single block holders.

         Configure the connector such that its direction approximately corresponds to the stepover direction.

         The boundary mode in the template must be set to “Fixture.”

 

Segmented processing

This machining mode is suitable for large parts such as models, full dentures, large bridges, and occlusal splints.        

         The machining is divided into segments and follows the central curve or alveolar ridge. It is processed in 3+2-axis mode.

         The strategy can be combined with profile finishing and equidistant finishing.

 

3D freepath milling

The cycle follows a defined curve or line.

 

3D Trochoidal outer cutting

The cycle moves in elliptical circles along the outer contour of an object.

 

3D Trochoidal outer cutting above connector

The cycle moves in an elliptical circle along the outer contour in the area of the connector. Only to be used for single element blanks!
