Hi all, member since 2022, had some health issues, getting into it now… finally.
I have a complex part that needs several operations (spinning part) that needs to remember the previous removed material etc. I have very little knowledge on CAM. I have Fusion already installed.
I have made a short video to explain & show my parts & setup etc.
I understand time is important, so am willing to pay for your time, Zoom call to go through it together with whoever is willing & has the knowhow to show me. It should only take an hour or 2, I guess. I’m in Australia, but will fit in with your time, no problem at all.
Please see this video for part & setup explanation, & thanks in advance for the help & advice in advance.
Nice video, clearly explaining your challenge. This is a great part to do toolpaths on, because once your done you will have learned a lot of good skills.
When setting up a job, you’ll start by right clicking on “setups”, and selecting “New Setup”.
“From Preceding Setup” will use the leftover from the previous setup as the new stock.
I think this may require a little tinkering to get it setup right.
Option 2, is to select “from solid”. To do this you’ll need to model your part the way it looks after each operation. It sounds like a lot of work, but it’s not too bad. You can start with your initial cube, then copy the body and remove the material from OP1, copy the body again, remove material from op2, etc…
You will right-click a new setup for each operation, and in the dialogue box select the body corresponding to the leftover stock from the previous operation.
