First export your model in your modeling software to a STL file, open this file in MODELA Player 4. There are three different views available. With the button aimed at with the arrow in the image below you can adjust from which sides the object should be cut.
Adjust the basic settings by changing the material, the scale, and the point of origin.
In the options window below you can set up the depth of the model.
The other tab shows the cutting angle
And the last one defines the cutting area.
As soon as these basic settings are set up, you can start adding milling actions. It depends on the product if a preparation milling is needed. When the surface is very complex, a preparation mill is recommended. In the left window below you can choose the type of action, preparation or finishing. The right window shows the cutting surface.
In the next window you can set up the dimensions of the product. This gives the possibility to cut the object only for a certain height, length or width. This is useful for very large parts.
The next window gives you the option to set up the cutting direction.
In this last window you set up the parameters for the milling it self. You can adjust X and Y speed, rotation speed, cutting height, cutting intervals and marges.
Finally you can start the processes by clicking on the button in the bottom right. The different cutting actions are performed consecutive.
