The onion skinning strategy is useful for cutting panels with greater precision, preventing panel movement during the final routing pass. Here’s how you can enable and configure this feature in Infurnia:
Step-by-Step Guide
Access CNC Settings:
Navigate to the CNC option in the main menu.
Modify CAM Settings:
Under CAM Settings, select KDT (.NC).
Enable Final Pass:
In the Router section, find the Final Pass option.
Turn the Final Pass setting to true.
Set Final Pass Depth:
Specify the depth for the final pass in millimeters.
For example, if you set the final pass depth to 1mm and your panel is 18mm thick, the initial cut will be 17mm deep, leaving 1mm for the final pass.
Viewing and Verifying the Changes
Initial Configuration Check:
Before enabling the final pass, you can check the current routing process:
Go to Board Layout.
Select NC Mode and play the routing animation.
Observe the drilling and routing steps without the final pass.
Apply Final Pass Settings:
Enable the Final Pass as described above and set the desired depth.
Apply the settings.
Recheck the Configuration:
Go back to Board Layout and select the same panel.
Play the routing animation again.
Observe the Final Pass:
Watch the routing process:
Initial drilling.
First pass cut.
Extra panel cut.
Border cut.
Final pass cut (additional routing pass for the specified depth).
By implementing these steps, you ensure that the final millimeter of the panel is cut in a separate pass, improving the precision and stability of the panel during the routing process.
Summary of Differences
Without Final Pass:
Single continuous routing pass.
Risk of panel movement and inaccuracies.
With Final Pass:
Initial pass cuts most of the panel.
Additional final pass cuts the remaining depth.
Ensures better stability and precision.
Using the onion skinning strategy effectively helps achieve higher quality and precision in your manufacturing process by minimizing panel movement and ensuring a clean cut.
