cutting on a 4th axis

Post by phill05 »

Hi,

Just been asked by a friend if it's possible to cut an stl of a full chess piece on a rotary 4th axis, said I don't know as never tried, so thinking this is best place to ask.

Possible? Yes, maybe. Need to see a render of the STL file to give a more precise answer.
