Detailed Description

Describes a face produced by a specified machining operation.

Shape() method returns ModelData::Face for this class. Face() method returns the same face, but already converted to the appropriate class.

Face types

MTK supports face types (defined by the Machining_FaceType enumeration) defined in the following table:

Bore face A face produced by a process which enlarges an existing hole by removing metal with a rigidly mounted single-point cutting tool. The rigidity of the spindle and the boring tool determine the accuracy of the cut. Horizontal boring is used to produce an accurate internal cylindrical surface. The workpiece moves parallel to the axis of the rotation of the cutting tool.
Circular Milled face A face produced by a circular milling operations that are used to enlarge die and mold cavities, cylinder bores and machine airframe pockets. The tool attached to the rotating spindle follows a circular trajectory with a machining feed rate, while gradually moving forward in the direction of global axis with a step over feed.
Concave Fillet Edge Milling face A face produced by a concave fillet edge milling process.
Convex Profile Edge Milling face A face produced by a convex profile edge milling process.
Curved Milled face A face produced by milling of curved surfaces. It involves machining irregularly shaped contours or continuous curves with different angles (inclined, concave or convex). This is the key process to complete most of the customized parts with unique shapes and requires CNC machinists to have advanced expertise in basic machining procedures and principles.
Deburr face A face produced by a manual processes to remove burrs and sharp edges, leaving the workpiece smooth and free of burrs. Deburring can be modeled based on linear distance, holes, or a combination of both.
Flat Face Milled face A face produced by a milling operation of which the rotating axis of the cutting tool is perpendicular to the surface is being machined. Face located at the top or bottom of the machined part.
Flat Milled face A face produced by a milling operation of which the rotating axis of the cutting tool is perpendicular to the surface is being machined. Used in part produced by Lathe + Milling operation.
Flat Side Milled face A face produced by a milling operation of which the rotating axis of the cutting tool is perpendicular to the surface is being machined. Face located at the side of the machined part.
Turn Diameter face A face produced by a turning operation. Turning is a material removal operation by the shear process which produces surfaces of rotation on the workpiece. The work element rotates about its center axis and the centerline of the machine spindle. Common cutting tool modes include facing, straight turning, taper, grooving, cutoff, threading, and tracer turning. Used for conical or spherical faces that have width equal or larger than depth.
Turn Face face A face produced by a turning operation. Turning is a material removal operation by the shear process which produces surfaces of rotation on the workpiece. The work element rotates about its center axis and the centerline of the machine spindle. Common cutting tool modes include facing, straight turning, taper, grooving, cutoff, threading, and tracer turning. Used for conical or spherical faces.
Turn Form face A face produced by a turning operation. Turning is a material removal operation by the shear process which produces surfaces of rotation on the workpiece. The work element rotates about its center axis and the centerline of the machine spindle. Common cutting tool modes include facing, straight turning, taper, grooving, cutoff, threading, and tracer turning. Used for spherical and toroidal faces.

The face type is returned by Type().
