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…
Tool Path Smoothing in Fusion 360 The last two sections from the Passes tab in 2D Contour machining are Smoothing and Feed Optimization. By selecting the Smoothing option, we let the Fusion 360 smooth the toolpath a bit. In places where it will be possible, he will remove points and approximate the path with the…
Stock to Leave – Fusion 360 The next section of the Passes tab in contour machining is the Stock to Leave section, which is the section for allowances. We have two types of allowance. Radial Stock to Leave, allowance that will remain aside and Axial Stock to Leave, allowance that will remain on the bottom….
Order by Depth Fusion 360 Order by Depth In the case of machining several separate parts segments, we can determine in which order the machining is to be performed. In the above figure, we have two areas. We can prepare the tool path so that the first area (in this case the contour) is machined…
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 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 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 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 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…
Sideways Compensation – Passes Tab Fusion 360 YouTube: https://youtu.be/7HTTUc8fM14 Next tab in 2D Contour is Passes. Compared to the Passes tab from the Face operation, we have a lot more parameters here that will affect the machining. The first of them, Tolerance, has already been described and is responsible for the accuracy of interpolating arcs using…
