Planning tool paths for machining a shoe model is complicated because of the complex freeform surface designs and patterns on the bottom, front, back, and sides of a shoe model and because machining shoe molds is limited to three-axis, five-surface machining. Apart from general tool path planning, extra work is required to create limiting curves and surfaces to limit the depth of a cut. As a result, experienced engineers need to spend long hours on repetitive and complicated tasks. This task, however painstaking it may be, is important because the design of the tool paths influences the machining time and quality.ShoeCAM can simplify and quickly create the machining operation sequences for 3-axis, 5-surface machining. ShoeCAM standardizes and automates the generation of tool paths for the machining of shoe models, making it easy for users to learn and operate. ShoeCAM users can finish planning tool paths using the "one button" feature.
