Difference between 2 1/2D and 3D tool radius
compensation
In 3D tool radius compensation tool orientation can
be changed.
2 1/2D tool radius compensation assumes the use of
a tool with constant orientation.
3D tool radius compensation is also called 5D tool
radius compensation, because in this case 5
degrees of freedom are available for the orientation
of the tool in space.

Circumferential milling
The type of milling used here is implemented by
defining a path (guide line) and the corresponding
orientation. In this type of machining, the shape of
the tool on the path is not relevant. The only deciding
factor is the radius at the tool insertion point.
The 3D TRC function is limited to cylindrical tools.
