A non-manifold edge is a mesh edge with more than two entities attached to it. An edge is a line segment that connects two mesh nodes. On a Fusion mesh, non-manifold edges should be corrected because ...

Pinpoint gate

Software; CAM

A pinpoint gate is a small gate, generally 0.75mm or less in diameter. In multi-cavity molds, the dimensions of pinpoint gates must be held within very tight tolerances in order to fill all cavities ...

Region

Software; CAM

A planar space defined by a consistent set of curves. The curves connect but must not intersect.

Semi-crystalline

Software; CAM

A plastic in a mixed state of crystalline and amorphous conditions. Most plastics are semi-crystalline. The crystalline content determines the physical properties or the part. See also crystalline.

Point

Software; CAM

A point is a position in space. The first stage of creating a model is usually the creation of points, which are then joined together to create surfaces.

Polymer

Software; CAM

A polymer is a natural or synthetic compound, usually of high molecular weight. Its long-chained structure consists of repeated linked molecular units called monomers (or mers). Monomers are ...
