Setup is where you'll tell fusion 360 what type of tool paths to create (milling or turning) which fusion models are parts, which fusion mode ls are fixtures,
00:00:18,000
and how big the raw part material should be Fusion will help you determine the size for your raw stock by examining the part model.
00:00:25,966
You can easily add additional material to your stock model for rough cutting and work holding
00:00:31,300
Origin let you define where zero will be located on the part. it's easy to pick any corner,
00:00:36,733
midpoint, or center point, for the machine in zero reference
00:00:42,166
on the post process tab add you can define NC program ID number,
00:00:47,966
add a program comment to the NC Header,
00:00:51,466
and select the machine work coordinate offset to use.
00:00:55,733
so let get started on our sample part here. the first we're going to do is go to set up and say new setup.
00:01:04,700
in our setup dialog
00:01:07,066
we'll start by picking operation type as milling which is the default
00:01:11,666
for our work coordinate system orientation
00:01:14,366
We're going to go with the model orientation
00:01:17,300
so as you see the xy face here to defined, that would be the same xy face for the top of our part.
00:01:24,900
The origin can set in reference to our stock box. so we can pick any one of these nodes that you see, to set your stock origin point.
00:01:34,866
we'll pick what will be the upper left hand corner of the part, as it will sit in the vice
00:01:40,800
If we had multiple parts on here, we would select the body, telling at which body we want a machine as the part and if we had fixture
00:01:49,333
components on here we would expand this to select those fixture are components.
00:01:55,066
but in this example all we have is the single model
00:01:58,333
that represents our work piece.
00:02:02,366
under stock we want the stock to be a relative size box
00:02:07,233
and we want add stock
00:02:09,366
to the sides top and bottom
00:02:12,766
to hear it set to add an additional .040 of stock to the sides .040 to the top
00:02:20,400
and for the bottom
00:02:23,300
I want to add .210 so that we'll have something to grip on to, on the bottom of this block, to machine the entire top face.
00:02:32,600
then when we flip the part over, we'll machine at excess stock off.
00:02:38,400
you could also round up to the nearest size
00:02:40,866
so you could set this to a 32nd to 64th and eighth of an inch quarter of an inch
00:02:46,133
it will round up the stock size to that amount of course here we can see the actual stock size.
00:02:52,466
under our post processor tab we've got a number in here, 1001, for our program number
00:02:59,866
and that's the "O" number that's normally displayed at the beginning of the program for a Fanuc type program
00:03:07,700
program comment. I could add an additional comment about this part
00:03:13,166
WCS offset is the offset that will be output in the NC code. so where this is set to zero
00:03:19,900
that will output the first available fixture offset.
00:03:23,666
one will also output the first available fixture offset. so if you have a Fanuc type control you would get a G54.
00:03:34,633
if I set this to a two I would get a G55
00:03:38,500
and so on, incrementing up. once that's defined we say OK,
00:03:44,033
and there is our setup. Now if you need to change that for any reason, it is simple to right click on this and say edit.
00:03:51,100
Here we can redefine our zero to a new position
00:03:54,166
if we need to.
00:03:55,866
I just hit cancel.
