Integration test shapes

Hi,

we speak here around real shapes...
lets have a look to a real part:

@the path gurus:

how can we cut this easy part out now?

p.s.:
please forgive me... the result should look like this:

Now next part...

I have done in the past a burshless motor:

So, it is now time after years to show how we cut easy parts out...

I think this is an excellent discussion. I'd like to see more projects like this that test end-to-end capability but I think this should be split out to a different topic. The standardized test shapes are more like 'unit tests' meant to focus on specific features or tool paths. What your getting at here is an 'integration test' that puts all those pieces together.

If it's ok with you, I'd like to split these posts out to a new 'integration test shapes' thread. Maybe we could make that sticky as well.

For the brushless motor, most of that part would be turned on a lathe. Then the bolt pattern and the four large cut-outs could be milled. Our lathe capability is still in its infancy so let's focus on the milling ops.

Hi Brad,
thank you for your answer.

yes, we can do a lot on a lathe ...
But it would make sense now to show what is possible now with Path-WB ...

@Thorhian's attempt should also be respected:

Thorhian's attempt should also be respected:

I think including long complicated discussions about specific models will make a topic on "Integration Test Shapes" pretty difficult to navigate. The Integration Test Shapes topic is probably best modeled after the Users Showcase forum. Show and then perhaps a bit of discussion, but long discussions should be taken to a new topic.

The question for me is:

can i now mill a part in 2020 with Freecad path like a friend did in 2009?

no problem

Big Sorry for my bad english,

i have not understand what 'integration test' was... Now i have read anything in the wiki... And it makes click

Ok. The 'Stern_IV_Basics' from the first contribution should be the basis for further discussions on how the part should coudt optimally cut out.

with your pardon
