Description
This hands-on lab will introduce engineers and designers to the world of using CAM to program computer numerical control (CNC) machines and its connection to the design process. Through a series of guided exercises in Autodesk Fusion CAM, you'll gain practical experience in setting up stock material and coordinate systems, choosing tools, defining machining operations (including machining boundaries), simulating the toolpaths, and generating G-code for a CNC milling machine. This session will equip you to better communicate with CAM programmers and optimize your designs for manufacturability.
Key Learnings
- Gain a basic understanding of CNC milling processes and the role of CAM in translating designs into machine instructions.
- Identify potential design for manufacturability issues using some of the available toolsets in Autodesk Fusion.
- Learn how to define fixtures, create setups and tools, and then machine simulate your program before postprocessing.
