Multi-axis positioning for drilling and tapping holes

Module overview

A common use for a 3+2 or multi-axis position machine setup is to drill and tap holes at various oriented locations on a part. Learn how to position a part and use canned drill cycles and toolpath patterns to cut geometry.

After this module, you'll be able to:

• Create a pattern of a toolpath.
• Create a multi-axis positioning operation.
