Quite a few good tips in this video. I've used fusion for years and learned several new things. It's a shame many people fail to understand why the information you're sharing is useful for more than the exact example part you've created.

Fantastic timing! Current project has a number of wide, sweeping chamfers so this could prove rather handy. Another really handy way of doing the chamfer in the first place is to use the variable fillet tool instead of pipe. This way you can adjust the thicknesses at points and have things vary whilst maintaining a pretty even edge. It's a shame we have to use these workarounds though, some of these features you would just expect to be present.

Well done! I use HSMworks for solidworks as my CAM, I've used it's "flow" toolpath for both chamfers and fillets like this, and it hasn't let me down this far. I'll have to look into blend, but also, I'll have to look into what solidworks could do to replicate the pipe creation and subsequent deletion + surface modeling stuff.

CAD and PCB layout software is also utilised throughout the company, supporting production and design requirements.

Hi John, I have been watching your channel for a while now and it has now made me decide to learn Fusion 360! I have now purchased this software on Subscription and wanted to know what is the best course to follow for the absolute beginner for machining parts using this Cad Cam? Something to get you up to speed and cutting metal relatively quickly. I have a lot of projects both milling only or turning with "C" & "Y" axis machining. I have been in the Precision Engineering sector for over twenty five years now so I am not a newbie to machining just to using this software :-) I am in Perth WA and we work in the metric system so the course would need to be for this! Any help is much appreciated, thanks Jon.

Any reason you didn't try Flow? Since it doesn't use a projection it should have done the job even better. You likely could have even reduced the number of passes since the amount of material you are removing is so little.

i could not get these tool paths to work AT ALL. I tried for 2 hours. Then i finally started to dig through my setup to see if there was something wrong. then FINALLY i decided to make a component inside of a part un selectable and boom! IT WORKED perfectly. I must have missed the whole DO NOT put additional components in your models memo. . . Are there any other weird things that will mess up cam like having a component in a part??????? Is there a video of how certain things can ruin your day in the manufacturing environments???????

Try Fusion360 as it's free for hobbyist use. Take a part and act like you would program it to machine it in reality. Use feeds and speeds that would be realistic. Do research on anything you don't know. Watch videos on cnc machining My recommendation: Edge Precision Its an amazing KZfaq channel. His videos are made like he would explain you what he's doing as if you would stand next to him.

@MysticalDork3 жыл бұрын
I mean, you can use a regular chamfer tool. It will look horrible though, because of the fixed chamfer angle on a variable angle part. I suppose one way around it would be to do the whole thing using a 5-axis machine, but that's a significant step up in machine, and in programming complexity.
@wildin133 жыл бұрын
I can't remember, do they have a variable fillet tool? If not I'm sure they will soon and you can use the same method but with a fillet instead, it does work, I've done it in mastercam and you would have thought I used a 5 axis to achieve.
@RobertPetrucha3 жыл бұрын
@@wildin13 Yeah I think you could get a great result by doing a fillet with "radius type" set to "chord length" instead of creating the pipe, then follow along just the same with deleting and lofting in the surface workspace.
@wildin133 жыл бұрын
@@RobertPetrucha I don't think you'd even need to create lofted surfaces. If you're just after a clean and aesthetically pleasing edge break you could run the programs using the fillet. It would require less CAD work, no tiny splines that you might miss like in video as its all chain selected. Personally I actually prefer the fillet look to chamfers, smoother look and feel to them but chamfers are normally quicker to produce 🤷♂️
