Slot not cutting properly

When trying to cut a slot in a piece of plate, it is only cutting the sides and skipping the radius portion of the slot

Hi Alyssa,

Without seeing the part it is hard to say. But at a guess, it sounds like you have a part closure problem, or perhaps a pathing issue. To check the part closure, I would recommend check the guide here:

For Pathing, are you manually pathing or are you using the automatic pathing when outputting from FastCAM?

Cheers,

Alex

I don't think it's a closure problem since I exported the DXF from a part in Solidworks. When I open the part and do automatic pathing, it appears to be fine but then it's open on our plasma table, it no longer matches the CNC file that was output. Please see below for reference. Thanks

Hi Alyssa,

Are you able to provide a service email form your FastCAM / FastNEST with the part loaded? And the output code you have generated there?

With that I can investigate further.

Cheers,
