Solid mesh for milling
Solid mesh for milling
I would like the ability to make a mesh solid, so that I can mill out the volume. Ideally I could export the milled shape too. This is likely useful to everyone who needs a milling simulation.

Hello,
this is a good idea, we are still looking at implementing this via a plugin. The main problem is that the libraries that offer that volumetric cutting functionality are very expensive.
Another way would be to record all cylinder/sphere positions (i.e. basically the mill trajectory), then perform the cutting operation in a different application, that supports boolean operations between volumes.
Cheers
