restricting the tool angle
Will you be able to restrict the tool angle (B axis) , when using a 5 axis method?

Yes, Sum3D also uses the Moduleworks toolkit. The big difference is that they have just slapped together the Moduleworks UI. We have taken a different tack. We are creating our own UI to make it more streamlined with our way of doing things. This will give you a much better user experience as well eliminate a lot of training headaches. That is why we cannot offer all of the parameters that Moduleworks offers until we feel that it truly is necessary to our users. We are taking great care is selecting the parameters we want our users to be able to control and leaving a lot as default or automatic parameters. (That is one of the reasons why it is taking a bit longer that we anticipated in getting the 5 axis module out).

Hi Mecsoft
Thanks for the feed back. I know the beta version will probably not be perfect, but I do think that , before the final version is put out there would need to be some way of limiting the amout of tilt in the b axis especially on surfaces that angled more the 45 degrees to the z axis. I realised this even more when watching the SUM3D 5 axis demo video. link below (paste in browser) - 9mb file download
javascript:go('./areafile/video/English/Sum3D/11_5_axis_milling.exe')
