Advanced 2D Pocketing uses advanced algorithms based on the wire frame input geometry and contains many options to control the creation of the tool path than the other pocketing cycles. This method allows for more complex geometry to be handed to the tool path generator.

The Advanced 2D Pocketing utilizes numerous parameters to generate the most efficient toolpath around a pocket. There are parameters to control the lead in motion, stepover distance, stepover type, and more.

The Advanced 2D Pocketing will start at a point inside the pocket and create offset tool paths, moving toward the outside of the pocket.
