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…
2D Pocket Fusion 360 – Stepover A parameter that can be used when machining multiple geometries in a single operation is the Preserve Order. If you select several different geometries to be machined in one operation, then after selecting the Preserve Order parameter, the geometry will be machined in the order in which they were…
Passes tab in pocket machining – Fusion 360 Now let’s go to the Passes tab in the 2D Pocket operation. At first glance, the look of the tab for 2D Pocket operation are very similar to 2D Contour operation. However, we have a few fundamental differences here. The Tolerance parameter is responsible for the same,…
2D Pocket – Fusion 360 With this post, we will begin pocket machining on CAM systems based on Autodesk Fusion 360. Pocket machining is the removing material inside a closed contour. To add a pocket machining operation from the 2D menu, select 2D Pocket. A window will appear, already known from previous operations. The tool…
