Module outline
Before you begin this course, test your skills by taking the following assessment to see where you stand.
Planning and setting up is essential for a successful operation.
Module outline
Planning and setting up is essential for a successful operation. Planning and setting up includes creating and managing tool libraries, recognizing workholding requirements, interpreting drawings or blueprints, and preparing a model for manufacture.
After completing this module, you'll be able to:
Defining CAM setup, machine, and stock is integral to ensure agreement between the physical tool and the digital representation.
Module outline
Ensure agreement between the physical tool and the digital representation. When setting up machine and stock, you must specify the Work Coordinate System and recognize stock options that are available within the program.
After completing this module, you'll be able to:
Creating and optimizing toolpaths is critical for the success of turning.
Module outline
Creating and optimizing toolpaths is critical for the success of turning. Learn to adjust toolpath parameters and take advantage of the various toolpaths available in Fusion, such as external and internal threading, drilling and tapping, grooving, and roughing and finishing.
After completing this module, you'll be able to:
Performing toolpath and machine simulation confirms stock removal procedures and ensures collision avoidance.
Module outline
Performing toolpath and machine simulation confirms stock removal procedures and ensures collision avoidance. Learn how simulation review determines the required toolpath adjustments.
After completing this module, you'll be able to:
Learn how outputting code verifies work coordinate setup against posted code.
Module outline
Learn how outputting code verifies work coordinate setup against posted code. The process of outputting code also permits identification to tool changes, spindle speed, and machine motion.
