Bridges

This command creates a disconnected toolpath and connects parts with a bridge. This kind of toolpath is ideal when cutting small parts that can fall down in the tank.

The command shows the following dialog box:

Lead

The "Lead" uses the same settings as the "Contour" command.

Compensation

Use normal methods for tool radius compensation (kerf). Read more about the Compensation.

Bridge

This value is the width of the bridge which may look wider on the screen since the toolpath shows the center of the tool.

Geometry optimization

This guarantees the part is able to be cut.

Click on the position to put the lead (A) then on the position for the bridges (B), (C) and (D).
