Projection

...

For robotic plasma cutting, 3D CAD geometry is often drawn as a finished workpiece, with cutouts and other scrap excluded from the drawing. However, in plasma cutting, these scrap areas on a workpiece are used for pierces and lead-in entry motions, as well as lead-out exit motions.

In Robotmaster, the Projection option can be used to model (or “heal”) missing workpiece geometry in cutouts and other scrap areas that will be removed during cutting. This enables you to configure entry and exit motions relative to the actual physical geometry of the workpiece.

...

  • Disable
    Robotmaster will not project surface geometry.

  • Automatic
    Tries three techniques below and picks one automatically.

  • Stock
    Separate Scrap CAD geometry has to must be imported and labeled as stock. This is workpiece geometry body that is Untrim
    Projecting onto healed surface; surface that has been trimmed will be healed. Works only Stock in Robotmaster. With this option enabled, surface geometry can be projected onto stock.

  • Untrim
    Heal surfaces that have been trimmed and project onto the healed surface. This is designed for use with closed interior profiles.

  • Extension
    Extends current geometry outProject surface geometry outward at edges, as with exterior profiles.
