🧊 Orthogonal Metal Cutting in 3D: Lathe Cut, Shear Plane, Force Dynamometer and Tool Wear

Walk around a Blender-built lathe cutting a thin-walled tube: a ribbon chip bent by the live shear-plane geometry, a force dynamometer, tool wear and a microscope screen, driven by the same exact model as the 2D lab.
