Rough Final – Fusion 360 – 2D Contour (part 17)

Rough Final Fusion 360 Rough Final is another parameter that applies in a specific situation. If we use Roughing Passes and the Finishing Stepdowns parameter in the Multiple Depths section, then in the case of configuration of parameters such as in the picture above, we will get the toolpaths as in the picture below. This…

Finish Only at Final Depth – Fusion 360 – 2D Contour (part 16)

Finish Only at Final Depth Fusion 360 Another parameter in the Multiple Depths section, in the Passes tab, in the 2D Contour operation is the parameter Finish Only at Final Depth. In order to notice the operation of this parameter, we must first specify the Number of Finishing Passes and the step of finishing passes…

Finishing Stepdowns – Fusion 360 – 2D Contour (part 14)

Finishing Stepdowns Fusion 360 Finishing Stepdowns, another parameter of the Passes tab in the 2D Contour. Using this parameter, we can add a specific number of finishing passes with a specified depth. By entering 2 in the Finishing Stepdowns parameter and entering 1 in the Finishing Stepdown parameter, we will get: In the NC code…

Multiple Depths – Fusion 360 – 2D Contour (part 13)

Multiple Depths Fusion 360 The next section in the Passes tab for contour machining is the Multiple Depths section. We can divide the contour processing into several Z-axis passes, and separate the roughing and finishing operations. Let’s check the next parameters on the examples. The first parameter is the Maximum Roughing Stepdown. This is the…

Roughing Passes– Fusion 360 – 2D Contour (part 12)

Roughing Passes in 2D Contour machining The next section in the Passes tab in the 2D Contour operation is the Roughing Passes section. This section is responsible for the additional, roughing passes in the contour machining. Maximum Stepover The first parameter is the Maximum Stepover. this is the maximum step of passes. This is the…

Extension toolpath – Fusion 360 – 2D Contour (part 11)

Tangential Fragment Extension Distance Another parameter that will allow to adjust the passes is the Tangential Fragment Extension Distance parameter. This option is rateher applicable to open contours. The tool path wusing this option will look like the picture below. Without using this option, the tool path will look like in the picture below. You…

Outer Corner Mode – Fusion 360 – 2D Contour (part 10)

Outer Corner Mode and Adjusting passes – Fusion 360 2D Contour Another parameter that will allow you to adjust the passes is Lead End Distance. This parameter will cause that at the end of the pass (at the distance from the end of the pass, specified in this parameter) the feedrate will be changed to…

Better Surface Finish – Fusion 360 – 2D Contour (part 9)

Better surface finish after 2D Contour Additional finishing passes can be adjusted to get a better surface finish. The Leads on all Finishing Passes will add the tool in and tool out to each pass. When this option is unselected, we will get something like: As in any case, so in this, you have to…

Multiple Finishing Passes – Fusion 360 – 2D Contour (part 8)

Multiple Finishing Passes YouTube: https://youtu.be/F3j_0Iv0U9E Another option for contour machining is the Multiple Finishing Passes. With this option, we can increase the number of passes around the selected contour in one operation. After selecting the option Multiple Finishing Passes, two further fields are activated: Number of Finishing Passes and Stepover. Number of Finishing Passes The Number…
