I've never worked with the stuff, so I'm not what to expect.
The part is approximately 5" x 2" parallelogram, 1/2 thick at the bottom and about .100 at top. No surface is actually flat or parallel. It's an odd one, but +/- .005.
The actual shape isn't that important for you, except for the fact that I think adding a second op is going to be extremely difficult. Ideally ide like to everything in the 5 axis and tab it off.
Is ultem stable enough to machine a reasonably thin feature unsupported with tabs? Finally, can a tabbed edge be hand blended? Perhaps ide say, if this were aluminum it would easy.
Any tips would greatly appreciated. Thanks
