G-code for rounded edges
OS: Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)
Word size of OS: 32-bit
Word size of FreeCAD: 32-bit
Version: 0.18.
Build type: Release
Python version: 2.7.16rc1
Qt version: 5.11.3
Coin version: 4.0.0a
OCC version: 7.3.0
Locale: Russian/Russia (ru_RU)
Hi !
I need to sharpen a rectangular part with rounded edges.
I create a rectangle with rounded corners in the sketch, then squeeze it out and round the edges in 3D. I go to Path-workbench -> 3D Pocket object and try to draw g-code paths in It. In "Depths" set point of Z-zero surface top, -4mm-finish, step 0.1 mm.
The problem is that the paths do not draw the entire rounding geometry, but only part of it, as in the screenshot.
What am I doing wrong ?
P.S.I discussed this problem on the forum, but without result.

Re: G-code for rounded edges
How about following the advice in the linked topic and try 0.19? The changes to 3D surface have been committed and will soon (or already) be in the available versions.

Re: G-code for rounded edges
depending on the radius; You could also think about using a corner rounding tool:
Thanks,

Re: G-code for rounded edges
Using a shaped cutter restricts the sample shape. I am interested in forming the edge shape in the FreeCad editor .dubstar-04 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 27, 2020 10:41 am depending on the radius; You could also think about using a corner rounding tool:

Re: G-code for rounded edges
I just downloaded 0.19.19717. The new 3D-Surface stuff is not contained. We will have to wait for the next build.

Re: G-code for rounded edges
Hi Chris,
I'm not sure that the 3D surfacing has been merged yet: https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/pull/2849
Thanks,
Dan
Re: G-code for rounded edges
Hi together,
i think there is still the need to enable the experimental features for 3D Surface OP...
3D Surface works for me, but there are a few things to know:
1. For a smooth path you have to reduce the sample interval to 1 or less. The time to calculate the path incrases, but path is good...
2. If you want to work at each side of your workpeace you have to extend the BoundBox extra Offset.
If change the settings i get this output which works at the machine (LinuxCNC) like expected:
OS: openSUSE Leap 15.1 (KDE//usr/share/xsessions/plasma5)
