CAM Strategies for 3 Axis Milling
Creating toolpaths for a 3-axis design is only a part of the CAM process. Learn how to prepare a design, set up supporting documentation, and improve efficiency using Fusion. Gain best practices in digital fixturing and workholding, roughing and finishing a part, creating supporting documentation and learning about templates and operational data reuse.
After completing this course, you'll be able to:
- Prepare a design for manufacture.
- Set up soft jaw fixturing.
- Define a digital CNC Machine.
- Create 3-axis roughing and finishing operations.
- Create templates and define operation reuse options.
- Create supporting documentation for a CAM setup.
