Course overview

00:01

In 90 minutes,

00:02

you will learn the basic skills of

00:03

using fusion 360 for computer aided manufacturing.

00:07

You'll discover how to set up a project and stock for a 2.5 axis cam project.

00:13

Then you'll learn how to set up and use predefined tools.

00:15

Also creating your own custom tools from scratch.

00:19

You learn how to use roughing operations

00:21

effectively to trim away parts excess material,

00:24

which is a key skill in making parts quickly on a CNCC machine.

00:27

And you'll understand how to create drills or

00:29

tap holes that are essential to the manufacturing process

00:32

as well as learn how to create tool paths for these machining tasks.

00:36

You will also set up tool pads such as the parallel and flow which

00:39

are used to cut apart to a smooth finish and accurate final size.

00:43

You discover how to use these in a variety

00:45

of toolpaths to effectively finish your parts.

00:48

Finally,

00:49

you'll verify your toolpaths by performing simulations and once satisfied

00:53

perform the post processing operations necessary as the final step

00:57

to creating the code and output for the CNC machine.

01:01

After completing this course, you'll be able to

01:04

set up stock for 2.5 axis CAM,

01:07

create roughing and 2D contour tool paths,

01:11

create tool paths for holes and cylindrical features.

01:14

Create chamfers,

01:17

perform finishing operations,

01:19

perform simulations

01:21

and post process CNC code.
