Get the knowledge you need to program 3-axis CNC Milling toolpaths. Begin by analyzing a part for manufacture, identifying areas that require 3-axis toolpaths and identifying requirements to hold the part during final machining. With the setup and process planning complete we’ll explore 3-axis tools to quickly remove unneeded material and move to finishing toolpaths required for rounded edges and angled faces. Finally, we’ll validate the toolpaths with simulation and create the supporting documentation and coded needed to control a 3-axis CNC mill. This will provide a firm understanding in the basics of 3-axis toolpath creation and validation in Fusion.
After this course, you'll be able to:
