We should not derail this forum thread.

I'm not good with Python and have way too many other project to juggle at this point. That automatic calculation of 2-part molds for complex meshes in FreeCAD is coming along nicely. I haven't seen any code for the 2-part molds but I'm interested. Send a link to even partial implementation and I'll...

Actually no. I'd do 2 completely different operations for roughing and finishing. So the first would leave 0.6mm of material and be a constant, deep engagement at the expense of not being precise at all with little changes in direction. Flat/constant radius surfaces would be cut in meander to save t...

Do the internal data structures and assumptions made allow for a later expansion to have a cutter come in along arbitrary vectors (not parallel to the Z axis)?
(I'm following the progress here to see about adding some of my own algorithms when the required infrastructure allows for it.)

In your introduction posting you don't tell what the difference between "Final Depth" and "Finish Depth" is. Also I am missing any specification of what the material blank looks like. At what stage shall the user specify where the 0-location in the work coordinate system is? Anot...

Some machine control software use mm/min (e.g. MACH3) and some use mm/s. Some are configurable. Problem is that due to the factor of 60 users of one system have absolutely no relation to numbers in the other system. I know what 100mm/min are and I have no idea if 10mm/s is something very fast or ver...

Thanks. The fix is applied and works.
I can now continue to make it a faccade for another plugin.
Then write the code to execute and modify another plugin's output on the fly.

Thank a lot!
I don't think I'd have found that variable name issue.
It's quite unobvious.

Marcus, can you post a reply once you've uploaded your code to your repository? If you've already done it then can you tell me which files they are? The new directory InverseKinematicPlugin https://github.com/MarcusWolschon/FreeCAD_sf_master/tree/cam-py/src/Mod/Cam2/App/Plugins And it's entry in CM...

I guess I haven't pushed my changes to my own repository.
I'll do so later today, so you can have a look.
