V-REP allows you to perform cutting simulations. The user can model almost any type of cutting volumes as long as they are convex (however you can always combine several convex cutting volumes to obtain a non-convex cutting volume). The scene objects that allow for this functionality are mills, which can cut cuttable entities. Following figures illustrates examples using mills:
[Two cutting simulation examples]
Mills will always have a convex cutting volume, however they can be combined to generate a non-convex cutting volume or more complex volumes.They cut parts of cuttable entities away that interferes with their cutting volume. By default, cuttable objects have their cuttable tag disabled. Refer to the object common properties to enable or disable individual object‘s cuttabl
