Packed with powerful, real world machining features &#8230; <a href=\"https:\/\/kentechinc.com\/kipwarem\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">KipwareM<\/a>\u00ae 3D programming has proven to be groundbreaking, innovative and in-demand !!<\/p>\n<p>Since it&#8217;s introduction in 2013 &#8230; many clients have suggested new &#8220;standard&#8221; shapes and we have tried to answer the call when we feel the shape requested would be beneficial to the general community. Our <strong>TAPERED &#8211; RADIUS EDGE<\/strong> is one of those that has proven to be quite popular and widely used by our clients.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-656\" src=\"http:\/\/kentechinc.com\/kipware_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/tapered_edge.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"1026\" height=\"740\" \/><\/p>\n<p>But recently I handles a phone call where the client asked &#8220;Do you have a 3D menu to chamfer an edge?&#8221; I though to myself &#8230; geez we should have. But low and behold we had one for a radius but not a chamfer. Blew my mind &#8230; and I immediately reached for the Development Whiteboard and added that for immediate development.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m happy to report that as of June 15th, 2019 &#8230; the <a href=\"https:\/\/kentechinc.com\/kipwarem\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">KipwareM<\/a>\u00ae 3D option now contains conversational menus for <strong>BOTH<\/strong> cutting a radius tapered edge and a straight tapered edge.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-657\" src=\"http:\/\/kentechinc.com\/kipware_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/tapered_straight_edge.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"998\" height=\"700\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It has already proven quite useful with a good client of ours how wanted to cut a radius tapered edge &#8230; but was looking for a quick way to rough out the shape before finishing. Using the straight tapered edge allowed him to utilize a fairly large step-over to rough out the material &#8230; then come back with the radius tapered edge with smaller step-overs to finish the contour with a nice smooth finish.<\/p>\n<p>In addition &#8230; we revamped the radius tapered edge to clamp the step down along the taper for the Z axis. Previously we had it set to clamp the Y axis &#8230; but for shallow angles the Y step created a greater Z step that proved to be too heavy in some instances. This new concept insures that the Z step down will be the one that is clamped &#8230; and the Y axis step will most often be reduced &#8230; not increased.<\/p>\n<p>Always innovating &#8230; always improving &#8230; that is our promise !!<\/p>\n<p>Kenney Skonieczny &#8211; President<br \/>\nKentech Inc.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kentechinc.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.KentechInc.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are always following up on user requests.
