In this video, we're going to create a milling setup.
00:06
After completing this step, you'll be able to create a new setup for milling to find stock size and define a coordinate system location.
00:14
In fusion 360, we want to get started with the gear housing for CNC mail data set.
00:19
We're going to navigate to the manufacturer workspace and we're gonna start by changing our units to inch.
00:27
The next thing that we want to do is create a setup.
00:30
The setup is going to be the definition of where a coordinate system is, our stock and basic parameters of the entire setup of tool paths.
00:39
In order to do this, I want to note that we have a milling, returning an additive and inspection in a fabrication section at the top.
00:47
Each of these have their own new setup and while all of the new setups are correct,
00:53
it's important to note that when you're creating a new setup, if you're on the turning tab, it will default to turning or mill turn.
00:59
We want to make sure that we are using the operation set to milling as a start.
01:04
We'll also note as we rotate this around that it's showing a lot of stock on the screen.
01:10
We don't want to machine everything that's included inside of the gear housing.
01:15
When we expand this,
01:16
you'll note that there is a front cover but there's also a front housing and a back housing which is still in this design but hidden.
01:23
Also note that we have the fixture in this design, which we're not going to be worrying about in this video.
01:27
So the first thing that I want to do is I'm going to select the model and I'm going to select just the front cover.
01:34
This brings the stock a little bit closer to the correct size.
01:38
Next I'm going to change the orientation so that I'm setting my Z-axis and my X-axis.
01:44
I can do this by selecting a default axis. I can select an edge or even a face on the part.
01:50
If I select the face, notice that Z is normal. If I rotate this around my Z and my X are correct.
01:57
However, I do want to move it to a different corner and I can do that by selecting a stock box point.
02:03
I'll put it in this upper left hand corner and if I view this from a front view,
02:07
notice that now X and Y are in that orientation in the upper left hand corner,
02:12
and Z is pointing up because we're going to start by facing this part and drilling and tapping these holes.
02:18
The next thing that we can do is we can navigate to the stock tab and we can define the stock size.
02:23
We can use relative based on the size of our part and just simply add a little bit to each side.
02:29
Or we can use some of the other options such as from solid or fixed sized box.
02:35
In our case, we're going to use a fixed size box. It's going to be 4.5 inches by 3 inches by 30.375.
02:43
When we modify this Z value 2.375, we want to view it from the side to make sure that we do have enough stock.
02:52
Notice that right now the model position is centered.
02:56
If we were to modify this, what it means is that the offset of the Z value can be offset from the top or bottom or the model origin.
03:06
For our purposes, we're going to use centered which will leave the same amount of stock on the top and the bottom.
03:11
It gives us our model dimensions and we can see make sure and validate that we are larger than our model.
03:19
The next thing that we need to do is set up the program number.
03:23
It's going to be 1001 which is the default value but in general when you're setting up a program name or number,
03:29
there is going to be some convention that you follow in your own shop.
03:32
We're going to use this default number and we're going to increment it for each new set up.
03:37
Or comment is going to be gear housing set up one.
03:44
The WCS offset is going to be the number one and we're not going to worry about multiple WCS offsets just yet.
03:52
The number one in this case is going to represent G 54 for us.
03:57
I do want to make one final note about the setup and if we go into our user preferences and into the manufactured general,
04:04
notice that there are several different things that we can toggle on or off to display in our browser.
04:10
By default it's going to show the tool number, cycle type, manual N.C. Pattern type and highlight tool paths in the canvas.
04:18
These are all default settings but we can modify it to show other values such as tool description and work offset and spindle.
04:25
We're not going to be worrying about showing those values but I just want to note that you can configure what you see in the setup.
04:31
I'm going to minimize the model noting that we've now created are set up.
04:36
I'm going to select the upper right hand corner of my view cube and I want to create a new view.
04:41
This new view is going to be representative of a named view.
04:45
So I can right click on my name view folder and I can create a new named view, and I'm going to rename it part up1 ISO.
04:55
This allows me to go back to that at any point in time. If I simply rotate the model and I click on it, it's going to bring me back to that view.
05:03
This is very handy, especially when we're creating multiple setups and we need to flip the part over to have a default view that we can go back to.
05:11
At this point, let's make sure that we do save this design before moving on.
