Welcome to the FeatureCAM Ultimate milling class.
00:12
In this class, we'll take a look at programming 5-axis simultaneous parts using FeatureCAM Ultimate.
00:19
If you're starting this class, you should have already worked through, first, the FeatureCAM Standard class and then the FeatureCAM Premium class.
00:28
If you have not already worked through those two classes, I strongly recommend that you stop what you're doing, go back and work through first the FeatureCAM Standard class and then the FeatureCAM Premium class.
00:40
Those two classes covered a variety of different topics from 2.5D milling, 3D milling, and 3+2 or 5-axis positional milling.
00:51
If you have already taken those classes, then by now you should be pretty familiar with the workflow we’ll be following to program our parts in this class.
00:60
Every part can be approached the same way in FeatureCAM by following this standardized workflow.
01:06
In this class, nothing will change.
01:08
Even though we're working on more complex 5-axis simultaneous parts, the workflow will be the exact same as when we were programming simple 2.5D milling parts.
01:18
As a quick review to our workflow in FeatureCAM, each part starts by either opening a new document or importing a solid model.
01:27
Once our document is open or our model is imported, we can setup our stock, handle any machining preparation details, and finally create our features, simulate those features, make any necessary revisions, run a final simulation after making any necessary revisions, and finally reviewing and saving our NC Code to send it to our machine for machining.
01:52
Hopefully, by now you're very comfortable with this workflow.
01:56
Whether we're working on very simple 2.5D or more complex 5-axis simultaneous parts in this training class, or even your own parts in your own shop, this workflow will help us stay organized, making sure that our programming process is as efficient as possible.
02:11
With that, let's move on to our first lesson by working on our first 5-axis simultaneous part.
