There are two material removal simulation modes (or models) available for use. The Voxel model can only be used for 2½ and 3 axis toolpaths. The main advantage of this model is very rapid processing times. The Polygonal model is necessary for simulating all 4 axis toolpaths. This model is more comprehensive and results in better display quality, however at the expense of speed.
