FSAE Upright Series: HST Blend

HST Blend takes Mastercam's classic Surface Finish Blend toolpath and improves it with a better interface, multiple stock to leave selection, avoidance geometry, and a faster more powerful algorithm. In this video, Chad demonstrates HST Blend by adding finish cuts to the FSAE Upright. Follow along by downloading the part on our Tech Exchange community.mast...

Awesome! Glad you liked it.

You are very good at explaining

[@mastercam]

We're glad you think so!

Great video again and nice smooth finishing toolpath however the first blend toolpath avoids retract motions, it will also add lots of air cuts. Can the Stock tab be used to keep this toolpath while filtering holes with a higher feed rate or retract motion?

[@mastercam]

Unfortunately the new Blend Toolpath doesn’t yet support stock model rest roughing. In this case, it was more efficient to keep the toolpath motion smooth, rather than insert square retracts to avoid the holes. There was less distance traveled at the machine, and fewer aggressive rapid acceleration/deceleration periods. However, what you are mentioning is completely possible with the Raster Toolpath, or with any of the existing 3D HST Toolpaths!
