The Stock Model is an additional data structure in your workzone which is distinct from the part geometry.
The Stock Model is used for calculating the state of stock on the part. The Stock Model can be used at any
stage of machining, however it is particularly designed for use at the roughing, re-roughing and semi-finishing
stages. The Stock Model can also be used as the Remachining Reference in all three remachining toolpaths
(Z-Level, Planar and Contour Remachining toolpaths).
There are two types of Stock Model :
q 2D Stock Model – used to machine the stock in the Z-axis of the original axis system. This
type of stock model cannot be managed when generating toolpaths with views to machine
undercut areas of the part.
