2D Adaptive Clearing – Adaptive machining 2D Adaptive Clearing, this strategy can be found under the name adaptive machining or adaptive milling. What do we mean by that? In short and in simplification, it is a machining strategy that prepares the tool path more optimized, avoiding sudden changes in the cutting direction and, above all,…
2D Chamfer Fusion 360 – Another way In the previous post, we discussed chamfering using the 2D Chamfer operation. Another way to do chamfers is to use 2D Contour operation. From the 2D menu, select the 2D Contour operation. Select the chamfering tool. Go to the Geometry tab and select four circles. Using the chamfer…
2D Chamfer Fusion 360 Chamfering is a simple milling operation, but significantly affecting the appearance and functionality of the finished part. By bending sharp edges during milling, we shorten the time of manual finishing. In order to make the chamfer we do not need them on the model, but also their presence does not bother…
Deep Drilling Fusion 360 In this post, we will discuss two basic drilling cycles. Standard G81 drilling and deep drilling G83. By choosing the Drilling cycle, we do not have to set any parameters anymore. The tool will simply goes dowm vertically with the work feed to reach the drilling depth, and then with a…
Drilling Cycles Fusion 360 Before we discuss the drilling cycles available in Autodesk Fusion 360, let’s check the Heights tab. This tab looks similar to previous operations. But look at the Bottom Height section. As for the drilling depth, the option in Hole Bottom in the From parameter is very useful. After selecting it, the…
Drilling – Fusion 360 Another operation that I will discuss in the 2D operation in Autodesk Fusion 360 is drilling. To create drilling operation select the Drilling button. The first tab in the Drilling operation looks the same as in previous operations. We have selected a tool from a previous operation. Click the Select button…
Tool entry into material in 2D Pocket strategy – Fusion 360 The next options for entering the tool into the material are Zig-zag, Profile, Smooth Profile and Helix. In each of these types we have the same parameters that we can control the entry of the tool into the material. Let’s check what will be…
Tool entry in pocket machining – Fusion 360 In the Linking tab, in the 2D Pocket machining, we have a few additional parameters, in comparison to the 2D Contour machining. The others have been described during the contour machining. Additionally, when it comes to the Ramp Type option, we have several different options. The option…
Finishing Passes in 2D Pocket Fusion 360 When in the Passes tab in the 2D Pocket operation, the Finishing Passes option is selected, a few new parameters will appear there. Compensation Type option works similar to contour machining and we have discussed it before. Here, after selecting the Finishing Passes option, the contour machining with…
Use Morphed Spiral Machining Fusion 360 The Use Morphed Spiral Machining option cause the toolpath will be generated in the shape of a morphic spiral. Where the spiral tries to reproduce the shape of the boundary of the machined geometry. In this case, the shape of the pocket. This is how the sample tool path…
