lathe cutter #2

aticoder commented 3 years ago

Is there a way to implement lathe volume cutter, i.e cutter will remove material as its swept volume around X-axis, like a toroidal volume?

KASUYASU commented 3 years ago

If you want a normal bite shape like the one below, it's just not possible to make the required volume cutter with the cutsim method.
