Radial

Use this feature to create a tool path that moves over by angular increments around a point.

UV-Flow

Tool path makes parallel passes in either the U or V direction (flow lines) of a single face


Round Finish

A special function used to generate circular finishing motion tool paths & output for 360° revolved geometry.


Morph Finish

This tool path starts from an outer closed boundary and shape, cutting in a spiral path morphing into either a point or inner closed boundary shape.
