New 5-Axis Swarfing Patterns

The Rhino / Grasshopper CAMel plugin is now running the 5-Axis machine, generating G-Code entirely within the Grasshopper modeling environment. This supports a rapid workflow for experimentation with the possibilities offered by 5-Axis milling, such as complex SWARF patterns as

Initial 5-Axis GCode Generator Swarf Tests

First tests of the custom Rhino Grasshopper component, developed by Edmund Harriss for our 5-Axis mill swarfing tests.

5-Axis Swarf Test Using Custom GH Component

Testing a custom Grasshopper G-Code Generator Component for our 5-Axis Mill. The component allows the Toolpath G-Code to be produced directly in Rhino GH, with vector visualization and geometry creation. Basically, everything can be accomplished straight from within the parametric
