Create a multi-axis tool path

AdaOne has a powerful path planning engine that can generate tool paths for a wide range of geometries. Each strategy is tailored to specific part and substrate geometries, for example, planar horizontal, planar along curve, radial, revolved surface, and sweep.

In this guide, we will show you how to create a multi-axis tool path using the revolved surface strategy. We will use the robot cell created during the "Create a robot cell" guide. You can download both the cell and the part below.
