MedialAxis Add-In

Use this Add-In to create geometry on a closed pocket boundary's medial axis, also known as a pocket's "spine." Among other things, you might use the medial axis to:

  • minimize tool burial
  • specify certain entry methods
  • influence opening cuts

The red lines in the images below show medial axes for shapes of varying complexity.
