Fluting Toolpaths - Ramp In/Out

Fluting is a special toolpath type for cutting tapered grooves often known as ‘flutes’ by ramping the cutter into and out of the material.

Fluting is a special toolpath type for cutting tapered grooves often known as ‘flutes’ by ramping the cutter into and out of the material. When using this toolpath the software drives the tool along the center of the vector giving you control over the way the tool ramps into the start and end of each selected object. This has many interesting applications outside of just the standard uses you would expect for this type of operation. 

Perfect for:

  • Woodworking and solid surface machining.
  • Flutes on columns and fireplaces
  • Drainage grooves on kitchen sink and shower units
  • Options for ramping in and out to create unique decorative results
