PYTHA Workshop - Router compensation exports incorrectly on complex part with cutouts
PYTHA Workshop - Router compensation exports incorrectly on complex part with cutouts
Sometimes when exporting complex shapes with an internal cutout the cutter compensation in your CAM system (EnRoute / EzyNest / WoodWop / bSolid) will be assigned incorrectly. The external part cutout will cut on the INSIDE of the profile, while the in internal cutout will cut on the OUTSIDE of the profile.
This issue is caused by additional points that are present in your PYTHA model. To remove these additional points, go to Part Tools 2 > Topology > Melt > Edges and select the affected part. You will then need to re-export your job for the changes to take effect.
