# Operations

ops, not to be confused with [opps](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/opp-opps) are the operations
|

applied to a model to remove material. The operations tab also contains meta operations

that represent parts of the manufacturing process, but do not nessecarity generate toolpaths.

|

|

|

The Outline op generates a toolpath surrounding the edges of a part. It is highly configurable and can select both internal or external edges specifically. The Outline operation is great for:
|
||||
|
||||
- Cutting out many objects at once
|
||||
- Generating a rough/finishing pass on an object
|
||||
- Easily avoiding spefic features like pockets or holes

|

The Level op creates a flat-surface clearing toolpath across a selected area. It is designed to remove material to a consistent depth, making it useful for preparing stock, flattening uneven surfaces, or cleaning up residual material. The Level operation is great for:
|
||||
|
||||
- Surfacing raw stock before detail cuts
|

- Creating uniform faces on complex objects

### Rough
|
||||
|
||||
<ImageCarousel base="/img/CAM/example/rough/" images="rough" />
|
||||
|
||||
The Rough op removes large volumes of material quickly using a stepped-down toolpath. It is typically the first pass in a multi-step workflow, clearing space for finishing tools without concern for fine detail. The Rough operation is great for:
|
||||
|
||||
- Rapid bulk material removal
|
||||
- Preparing many parts for finishing simeltaneously.
|
||||
- Clearing voids or flat faces for many objects at once
|
||||
- Preparing a part for finish machining
|
||||
- Rapid bulk material removal
|
||||
- Preparing many parts for finishing simultaneously
|
||||
- Clearing voids or flat faces for many objects at once
|
||||
- Preparing a part for finish machining
|
||||
- Preserving tool life by reducing cutting load in later passes

||||
### Contour
|
||||
|
||||
<ImageCarousel base="/img/CAM/example/contour/" images="contour" />
|
||||
|
||||
The Contour op generates detailed toolpaths for complex organic surface geometries.
|
||||
It can trace along the x or y axis and has configurable precision. It is useful for:
|
||||
|
||||
- Carving 3D shapes with organic or curved profiles
|
||||
- Finishing complex wall geometries
|
||||
- cleaning up a part after [roughing](#rough)

|

|
||||
The register operation drills holes in the sides of a part,
|
||||
helping keep a part in the same place when it is flipped onto it's opposite face.
|
||||
The operation has options to drill on different sides, and can even generate a puzzle piece-like pattern for registration.

## Specific Operations
|

|

Specific operations require spelection of individual part features to apply operations to.
|

These may have some overlap with Global operations, but are generally more configurable.

### Trace

<ImageCarousel base="/img/CAM/example/trace/" images="trace" />
|

|

The trace operation is likely the most configurable, allowing for generation of toolpaths following loops or lines.
|

it can trace on, inside, or outside a line, and can take multiple passes to step down to the desired position.
|
||||
when the type parameter is set to clear, it can even act like a [pocket](#Pocket),

clearing the area above the shape created by the selected lines/loop.

The operation has options to expand and smooth the pocket selection, and the contour option even allows
|

for an approximation a v-bit carve. some use cases specific to the pocket op include:

as it is not tied to any event,
