Finishing operations

Module overview

In this module, you’ll learn about a few of the toolpaths which can be used to finish complex features on a part. These toolpaths are used to cut a part to a smooth finish and accurate final size, and they are a critical part of the CAM process.

After completing this module, you'll be able to:

• Create operations using the Parallel toolpath.
• Create operations using the Flow toolpath.
• Identify resources for learning about new toolpaths.
