Planning and setting up drawings and applying procedural concepts is essential for a successful operation. Planning and setting up includes analyzing supplied drawings, determining order of operations, and optimizing those operations.
Machine setup is integral to ensure agreement between the physical tool and the digital representation. When setting up a machine, you must plan and assemble digital workholding and determine appropriate workholding based on specifications.
Selecting appropriate machining strategies and defining tool orientation is critical for the success of machining. Toolpath containment can be defined using a selection of edges, sketches, or surfaces, and tool orientation includes determining tool tilt angles and optimizing tool contact.
Performing toolpath and machine simulations confirms stock removal procedures and ensures collision avoidance. Simulation review determines the required toolpath adjustments.
Outputting code permits troubleshooting for output errors.
When undergoing parts inspection, validating feature location and size is essential in updating machine parameters. Using program prove out in a 3-axis machine ensures a successful project.
