Transcript
00:03
Milling is a subtractive machining process that involves a tool advancing into a piece of stock material and removing excess stock,
00:11
until the actual part remains.
00:14
Using Fusion, you can create a range of 3-axis and multi-axis operations, which are then used to create the machine instruction file.
00:22
Fusion provides several model datasets to help you familiarize yourself with the Manufacture workspace.
00:29
Opening a sample project and saving it under a different name
00:33
enables you to edit the design and practice various steps of the machining process.
00:38
To open the 2D milling model dataset, on the Application bar, click Show Data Panel.
00:44
If you are already in a project folder, click Home.
00:50
Scroll down and double-click to open the Cam Samples folder, then open the Tutorials subfolder.
00:57
Here, locate Intro to 2D Machining, and then double-click to open it.
01:04
Once the design is open, on the Application bar, notice the lock icon on the document tab.
01:11
This indicates that the design is read-only and cannot be edited.
01:16
Before making changes, you need to create a copy of the sample dataset and save it as a new project.
01:23
Click the Home icon at the top of the Data Panel.
01:27
To create a new project, click New Project and name it “Introduction”.
01:33
This may take a few seconds to create.
01:37
Once created, double-click to open the folder, which is currently empty.
01:42
Now, from the File menu, select Save as.
01:47
In the Save As dialog, keep the same name or change it if you prefer, then you need to set the location.
01:55
Expand the Location dropdown and navigate to the new project and select it, then click Save.
02:02
At this point, you no longer need the Data Panel open, so you can click Hide Data Panel.
