5-Axis cutting and extended engineering

Post by bastl »

Hello
I often construct parts by other moving parts. F.e. a mil from a cnc-machine traveling though a block of material or a special designed gear cutting its opponent.
You can design this in a 3D- sketch with lines and circles and dependencies like fixed, fixed(property, level), line cuts other geometry (needs to have a common point),parallel to (line, x,y, z), perpendicular... so by editing values you can create points for a spline you need for a sweep to cut/sub or a solid tool part cuts an other solid part with its defined movement.
I don't see FreeCAD ready for this but could this be a development goal?
