Enter a name for the part that best reflects its properties.
The description helps you to better find your part later and understand the purpose of the design.
Configure the desired material of the part, surface coating, or hardening.
Milling on 3- and 5-axis milling machines according to DIN 8589 for metal and plastic materials. We use form cutters, drills, and taps to process pockets, grooves, edges, and holes, and to create threads.
CAD components consist of addition and subtraction methods of geometric volumes. Using the -Modeling- group tabs, operations such as profile geometry or pockets can be defined and applied to the current volume. The component can then be extended with further specifications.
Edge processing and drilling can be defined via the corresponding tabs. The -Tolerance- group offers tools for further refining the product. Operations on the component can be edited or deleted at any time.

On the left side, the Pattern action can be executed. The values stored in the input fields are taken into account.
On the right side of the dialog, the shape of the pattern can be defined in terms of horizontal number, vertical number, and horizontal distance, vertical distance.

Clicking the button applies the values in the dialog to the sketch.
In the input fields, a point in X and Y can be specified around which the sketch should be rotated. Then, an intermediate angle and the desired number of copies must be specified.

A profile or block is the extrusion of one or more closed 2D sketch geometries into 3D space. Extrusions originate from a plane that can either be one of the main directions of the coordinate system or a planar surface on the component.
The direction of extrusion is perpendicular to the sketch plane. The depth depends on the input and can take positive or negative values. The preview function helps guide the input.
First, select the desired working plane from which the extrusion will start. You can click on flat surfaces of the component or use the -Working Plane- tab to choose one of the three main planes.
Next, a sketch geometry is required. Use the -Sketcher- tab to draw on the selected plane.
Use the -OK- and -Cancel- buttons to confirm or discard the operation.

A pocket is the extrusion of one or more closed 2D sketch geometries into 3D space, geometrically subtracted from the component. Extrusions originate from a plane that can either be one of the main directions of the coordinate system or a planar surface on the component.

First, select the desired working plane from which the extrusion will start. You can click on flat surfaces of the component or use the -Working Plane- tab to choose one of the three main planes.
Next, a sketch geometry is required. Use the -Sketcher- tab to draw on the selected plane.

Grooves are the extrusion of a 2D profile along a path. The resulting geometry is subtracted from the component. The origin must lie on a plane that can either be one of the main directions of the coordinate system or a planar surface on the component.
The geometry lies along the sketch plane. The dimensions and shape of the groove depend on the input. The preview function helps guide the input.
First, select the desired working plane where the groove will lie. You can click on flat surfaces of the component or use the -Working Plane- tab to choose one of the three main planes.
Next, a sketch geometry is required. Use the -Sketcher- tab to draw paths. These can be open or closed. Each segment will create a groove geometry.
Use the -OK- and -Cancel- buttons to confirm or discard the operation.

Drilling with twist drills on a milling machine. The holes can be cylindrical, flat countersunk, or conical countersunk.
Metric ISO threads (M) DIN 13 and pipe threads (G) DIN ISO 228. The depth specification refers to the usable length of the thread. The tolerance in diameter for holes is +/- 0.1 mm. For higher precision, pocket milling is recommended.
Holes are based on sketch geometry located on a surface. First, select the desired plane and then use the sketcher. Place points in the sketch where the holes should be positioned as center points.
There must be at least one point in the sketch.
Select the desired type of hole and enter the required dimensions in the fields.

Fillets can be applied to all edges of the component. The radius is determined by the input.
Select the edges of the 3D model where a radius should be applied. Multiple selections are possible. Re-selecting an already selected edge will remove that input.
If additional tangent-continuous edges are adjacent to a selection, they will be automatically included.

Chamfers can be applied to all edges of the component. The width of the chamfer is determined by the input, and the angle is 45°.
Select the edges of the 3D model where a chamfer should be applied. Multiple selections are possible. Re-selecting an already selected edge will remove that input.
If additional tangent-continuous edges are adjacent to a selection, they will be automatically included.
