We've had a lot of 'fun' trying to tweak our plasma cutter to produce as little dross and draft as possible. We're getting better at it, but it's still frustrating.
the waterjet used on these parts is a 5-axis machine. we programed it one time to blast around 6000 small holes Arround this hemispherical part. but 99% of the time were only using 2 axis like this time. the draft is minimal with aluminum so it can be cleaned up in the important places with a file
