Description
This hands-on lab will introduce engineers and designers to the world of using CAM to program computer numerical control (CNC) machines and its connection to the design process. Through a series of guided exercises in Autodesk Fusion CAM, you'll gain practical experience in setting up stock material and coordinate systems, choosing tools, defining machining operations (including machining boundaries), simulating the toolpaths, and generating G-code for a CNC milling machine. This session will equip you to better communicate with CAM programmers and optimize your designs for manufacturability.
Key Learnings
- Gain a basic understanding of CNC milling processes and the role of CAM in translating designs into machine instructions.
- Identify potential design for manufacturability issues using some of the available toolsets in Autodesk Fusion.
- Learn how to define fixtures, create setups and tools, and then machine simulate your program before postprocessing.
Speaker
- Scott MoyseScott Moyse is the RevOps Manager at Toolpath, where he focuses on enhancing operational efficiency and driving growth through strategic process optimization and data-driven decision-making. In his current role, Scott is dedicated to aligning sales, marketing, and customer success operations to ensure seamless and scalable business operations. Before joining Toolpath, Scott was the Product and Platform Manager at Cadpro in New Zealand. Scott played a crucial role in managing and optimizing internal business systems, platform integrations and working closely with the marketing team to launch Cadpro’s new brand and digital presence. For the majority of his nearly 11 years at Cadpro, he worked as part of the technical team, specialising in Autodesk’s manufacturing-focused design and engineering products. With a particular focus on CAM solutions, which included supporting customers across New Zealand and Australia. He also developed Post Processors for Fusion, HSMWorks, and Inventor CAM, and created add-ins for Fusion. Scott’s career began at SMI, where he spent over 9 years after relocating from the UK while studying Motorsport Engineering. He started in design support and quickly moved into programming CNC machines. Over the next 4 years, he collaborated with manufacturing and design teams to develop and implement automated processes, gaining deep insights into both departments. In 2008, Scott transitioned back to design full-time and was promoted to Design Manager in 2009. He successfully implemented and managed Autodesk Vault Professional, which improved communication, work allocation, organization, and control over the design review process. His experience in process formation and development in evolving environments was pivotal during this time. Outside of work, Scott enjoys spending time with his family, designing Grumpy Sloth low-profile mechanical keyboards, watching Formula One and running challenging trail distances.
