IRREGULAR POCKET CANNED

What is an irregular pocket with islands?
A pocket with islands is composed by an external contour or profile and a series of internal contours
or profiles called islands.
There are two types of pockets with islands, namely 2D and 3D pockets.
2D pocket:
In a 2D pocket, all the walls of the outside profile and of the islands are vertical. To define the contours
of a 2D pocket, the plane profile for all the contours must be defined.
3D pocket:
In a 3D pocket, one, several or all the walls of the outside pocket and/or of the islands are not vertical.
To define the contours of a 2D pocket, the plane profile and the depth profile for all the contours
must be defined (even if they are vertical).
(1) Outside contour or profile of the pocket.
(2) Inside contour or profile of the pocket.
