Plain mill with feature recognition used to be in the 'hood of $4-5K - ish.ģD has different levels, ranging from 2K to 6K depending on what you need.Īll that however is now or soon to be out the window as FeatureCAM ( now AutoDesk product ) will be an annual subscription-only. Now to the OP, that is a difficult question. Well, you can just cut/paste a "feature" from another setup or another file or from a template, redefine the underlying curve and bang, you've just createdĪ brand new feature that inherits everything from the original, except it will be in a new location and of a completely different shape. Once the curve and then the toolpath is created, you can modify, move, or delete even the underlying geometry, and yet, your toolpath remainsĪs it was because it's based off of a curve ( actually you can use plain jane geometry as well but. You use the solids, surfaces etc to create curves, and then turn the curves into toolpaths ( Features ). I really don't know what you're trying to say there AtomįC will work from either solids, surfaces, 2D or 3D geometry.
