SURFACE MODELING

SURFACE MODELING
GEOMETRICAL SURFACES are surfaces that have a constant shape such
as: blocks, cylinders, cones, sphere, or draft surfaces and revolvedsurfaces.
)Draft Surface: is a surface generated by extruding one or more contours, along a line
defined by an angle and a length.
Applications: used to create an angled surface, a tapered wall or cones and cylinders.

M A contour is defined as a chain of entities. Mastercam entities include points,
lines, arcs, and splines. In order to form a chain, the distance between the
entities should beless than 0.002mm.
See Tutorial 12
Examples

)Revolved Surface: is a surface, generated by rotating a contour around an axis or a line.
Applications: on parts that require arc or circular cross sections.
See Tutorial 8
Examples

Page 7-1

SURFACE MODELING
FREE FORM SURFACES are surfaces generated from arbitrary curve
segments and follow no set of geometrical pattern.

)RuledSurface: is a surface, generated by connecting straight lines between two or more
open or closed contours. As a result the surface has sharp edges at the intermediate contours.
Applications: any time a surface must be fit between two or more open or closed contours.
See Tutorial 9, 12, 13
Examples

)Loft Surface: is a surface, generated by blending together more than 3 open or closed
contours....
