The milling restriction is a variant of the demold manufacturing constraint. Here, the milling tool has access to all regions of the optimization results from the defined directions.

Note: The diameter of the milling tool is not taken into account during the optimization.

The following figure shows the milling restriction for three milling directions which represents a typical 3-axis milling process:
