Interpreting drawings

00:01

In this video, you’ll: interpret drawings to plan orders of operation.

00:09

Open the file Interpret and Plan.f3d in the Design workspace.

This part could easily be machined in a 3-axis vertical mill.

00:23

However, when you open Base Bracket Drawing.pdf to review the measurements,

00:31

you can see that there are some precision callouts for the angle of the slope and the radius.

00:39

Also, a smoother surface finish is needed for the part.

00:45

Return to the model in Fusion.

00:50

A ball mill will not be capable of machining the sloped face.

00:55

Instead, the side of the tool will be required to finish the part using a 5-axis machine.

01:03

Therefore, you must consider the workholding carefully for this part.

01:09

In the Browser, toggle on the visibility of the vise 148160-77.

01:22

Notice that both the vise and the part are narrow enough that both ends of the part can be machined.

01:31

However, the vise is bolted on the table, which raises the concern that the tool and spindle will be unable to reach the faces.

01:42

An option to mitigate this is to add a riser.

01:47

In the Browser, toggle on the visibility of the riser 145156.

01:57

The riser allows room for every contour of the part to be more accessible,

02:04

and therefore machined effectively using a multi-axis machine.

When you are finished reviewing the part and deciding how you are going to machine it, be sure to save the file.
