12.14 3D pocket
A pocket consists of an outside contour and a number of inside
contours called islands.
As opposed to 2D pockets, whose walls are vertical, 3D pockets may
be defined with a depth profile different for each contour (up to a
maximum of 4 different ones).
The surface profile defines all the contours, the outside one and the
inside ones (islands).
The first 4 contours defined in the surface profile may be assigned their
own depth profiles. The rest of the profiles will be vertical.
The 3D pocket of the figure has 2 contours with "vertical profile" (C and
E) and 4 contours with "non-vertical profile" (A, B, D and F).
Since only 4 contours may be defined with "non-vertical profile",
contours A, B, D, F must be defined first and contours C, E at the end.
It is recommended to previously define the #ROUNDPAR instruction
in order to obtain a good finish because the finishing passes are
carried out in G05.
