Turning axes

A Turning Axis is the axis of revolution for axis-symmetric geometry, which could be manufactured by turning processes. A part may have more than one turning axis. See the section "Turning Axes" in the Cost Model Guide for more information on turning axes, including system-created and user-defined turning axes.
