Double-sided, STL carving

Post by dwburger »

I've imported an STL file and want to carve both sides of the 3D model. When I choose a "Rough Machining Toolpath" the end result does not include carving the perimeter of the part. I can't seem to figure this problem out. Can anyone help? Thanks!

Have you set the boundary offset to be equal to at least the tool radius?
