    3D Surface Toolpath milling deeper than surface

    I am machining some silicone molds and when I generate the toolpaths, the toolpath shows that it is under the surface. You can only see it if you turn the part to wireframe. However it only does this in the bottom of the channel not the sides. Attached are photos of molded parts. You can see that the bottom is thicker than the sides, also it is chamfering the edge of the mold which is leaving the pointed part on the edges. Any thoughts or ideas?
