Setup and create toolpaths for a CNC lathe.
While CNC machines have a lot of flexibility with the geometry they can make, there generally isn’t just one machine that can do it all. A CNC lathe is fundamentally different than a CNC mill. One turns the tool, the other turns the part. From a fundamental level ,we’ll review the coordinate system, tools and their relative positions, and then build upon cutting geometry with turning toolpaths.

This challenge brings all the skills covered in this course into a final exploratory assignment.
Module outline
This challenge is designed to help you to explore the tools you have learned. There's no single correct solution. Instead, use this as an opportunity to practice skills to creatively solve a design challenge. You can either use the output of the previous challenge or upload the provided dataset parting – lc.f3d to a location inside your project. Perform a stock transfer using a Turning toolpath sequence of Spindle Chuck, Part, and Spindle Return. For the Turning Part toolpath, use an OD Groove tool from the Fusion Library, or create a custom tool.
