Errors in stl File - Mesh Correction Tool

[electrosteam]

I am continuing the machining of the wheels, and getting numerous "open poly" messages.

Is it possible open polys are produced in CamBam when a tool path ( slice ?) passes through a poly in the stl mesh ?
And cuts one of the edges in a mesh triangular element ?

Just trying to understand if my source stl mesh actually has errors.

Hello

Unfortunately, Andy do not give clear info about this warning, but yes, it is possible. I already get such problem when the slice plane is exactly at the same level than  a totally flat surface of the mesh (even if it only one triangle). Slightly changing the depth increment can sometimes solve the problem. (needs to experiment with different values, sometime changing the DI about only 0.01 is sufficient)

Also I have had problems if the target depth given in the mop is below the bottom of the 3D mesh. ... And of course this can happens on "bad" mesh.
