This is a practice exercise video solution.

In Fusion 360, we're going to start with profile simulate for this practice.

00:11

We want to make sure that setup 1 is selected and go to actions and simulate.

00:16

From here, we're going to play through each of the tool path, making sure the material is getting removed.

00:22

We can speed up or slow down the process and take a look at the results when finished.

00:27

If we view this from the front, you can see that the material has been removed but we still haven't parted off the back of the stock.

00:35

We can also see that a tool that had a small fillet on the corner was used for this groove and it didn't completely remove the material.

00:43

Lastly, we can see that the bore in the front of the design has not been completely removed either.

00:49

These are all areas that would continue to need development using new tool paths or adjustments to previous tool paths.

00:55

This helps us better identify stock that's left behind.

00:58

Using the stock mode comparison and allowing us to see what material is left behind in blue,

01:04

showing us everything that's been removed in green that matches our part.

01:08

From here, we're going to close simulate and make sure that we save the design. If any changes have been made.
