When using Align Tilt from Point with Non Overhang detection ON in Freeform additive backup operation


below message appears when the tool path is generated.


It does not appear when Non Overhang Detection is set to OFF and toolpath generated.
What does this message mean and what are the consequences of ignoring it?

Solution

It means that when you go from overhang to non-overhang on the part, the table may change direction at that corner, meaning if it is going clockwise, then as it gets to the corner, reverses direction CCW for a little bit, the goes CW again. It driven by the geometry.

This is a warning, meaning it may happen, but does not always happen, and the user should simulate their cutterpath to make sure they are getting the result they need.
