This is a practice exercise video solution

for this practice.
00:07
We'll begin with the supplied data set generative actuator study setup dot F 3D.
00:12
This already contains a generative study inside of fusion 3 60
00:16
we should already see connector obstacles and preserve regions.
00:21
The next thing that we're going to do is
00:22
we're going to take a look at our manufacturing methods
00:25
for manufacturing methods.
00:27
We have cost estimation, unrestricted additive milling,
00:31
two access cutting and die casting.
00:33
If you don't see die casting,
00:35
make sure you go to your user preferences
00:36
and the preview features and toggle that on.
00:39
We want to begin by taking a look at the
00:41
different options that we would have for this bracket.
00:44
It doesn't make sense for us to use the
00:46
additive manufacturing for the design that we have here.
00:49
So we're gonna focus our attention on milling
00:52
two access cutting as well as dy casting.
00:55
First, we're going to set up a 2.5 axis cutting configuration.
01:01
This is gonna be cut using the X orientation
01:05
with 2.5 axis cutting.
01:06
We need to make sure that the preserve heights for all the preserves are the same.
01:10
Otherwise it'll prompt us with a warning.
01:13
The 2.5 axis cutting is going to give us a sketch and an extrude as our feature.
01:17
After we create a design,
01:19
we want to make sure that we do make some adjustments here.
01:22
For example, the minimum tool diameter,
01:24
we want to make sure that it's 0.25.
01:27
We also want to make sure the minimum wall thickness is going to be 0.25 as well.
01:32
Let's add another configuration.
01:34
This time, we're gonna use three axis cut from the X plus and X minus directions.
01:40
We're gonna use the minimum tool diameter of 0.375 for this configuration.
01:44
And we're gonna add one more for multi axis.
01:47
We use the same settings for this.
01:49
We also want to toggle on two axis cutting from the X direction
01:53
and die casting
01:55
for two axes cutting.
01:56
We're also going to use the minimum wall thickness of 20.25 inches.
01:60
And for die casting, we're gonna be using the X direction for our die cast
02:04
using the default settings of three degrees 30.59 for
02:08
the minimum thickness and 0.512 for the maximum thickness.
02:12
Let's go ahead and select, OK.
02:14
And make sure that we do save our design before moving on.
