    Hi,
    I'm doing my first experience with PyCAM. I can't understand why the tool path goes to the safety height when it seems to be unnecessary. Take a look at the picture in the link:

    Tool Path.

    How can avoid this move if it's not necessary?

    Thank you very much in advance,
    Luis Pablo

    Hi Luis,

    this kind of sub-optimal moves can be easily avoided if someone puts effort into the toolpath logic.
    It is just as easy - and as hard - as this ...
    Sadly there seems to be no one currently working on pycam. Thus you will probably need to work on this on your own or live with these extras moves in free air.

    Cheers,
    Lars
