I keep seeing MeshCam generate tool paths that cause it to run 50x longer than it needs to. It will make a little cut in one place then move all the way across the part then make a tiny cut in another place instead of just working in one area to prevent wasting huge amounts of time in travel.
I've been using MeshCam for a couple months now and I still don't have an intuitive feel for how the different roughing and finishing options work or how to know when to use which ones. Is there anything better than the MeshCam manual that's available online to explain how each of the options affect the tool paths?
I'm guessing my settings are the problem most times but I don't know how to figure out if that is true or not. I can't find any really good in depth tutorials.
Thanks for any links or suggestions!
