Turn form faces
Turn form face overview
A turn form face is a face produced by a turning operation.
Turning is a material removal operation by the shear process which produces surfaces of rotation on the workpiece. The work element rotates about its center axis and the centerline of the machine spindle.
Common cutting tool modes include facing, straight turning, taper, grooving, cutoff, threading, and tracer turning. Used for spherical and toroidal faces.
How MTK recognizes turn form faces
MTK automatically recognizes turn form faces in B-Rep CAD models and extracts their manufacturing-relevant parameters. The recognized feature data can be used for automated quoting, DFM analysis, and manufacturing workflows.
Documentation and API reference
Detailed API reference for turn form face feature recognition is provided in the MTK documentation, including feature classes and integration details.
