WinderCAM.de : Short Tank Example № 3

In this video, we walk through the third example from the WinderCAM library — winding a short vessel with a near-spherical geometry. You'll see the entire standard workflow for calculating a CNC program, from mandrel definition to machine-ready code. What you'll learn: How to import the mandrel geometry and define key parameters How WinderCAM uses Clairaut's equation to calculate geodesic winding paths How to correct the path for uniform coverage across the shell surface How to manage material buildup at the polar opening using layer shifting How to handle the transition turn between helical and hoop layers How to calculate equipment trajectories and export CNC code Key technical points: The winding period for a short tank is close to 2π, making it a single-loop reinforcement scheme Layer shifting by 2π/N helps distribute material evenly around the pole The transition turn between winding patterns is not yet automated in WinderCAM and requires engineering input.
