Autodesk is leading the charge to make CAM accessible to everyone. With that being said, let's take a look at the CAM setup dialog box within Fusion 360. I hope this benefits all new CAM users to get started in this environment.
Before we start, an optional step (Shown Below) is to include the model of the vise and components that will be holding the part. For the novice or beginner this step should be thoroughly considered. Adding this step, will enable the ability to simulate interferences with the vise as the part is being cut! It is for that reason I choose to highlight only this one detail.
So, what might help the new user of CAM to get started quickly setting up their part? After much consideration I thought showing the anatomy of this dialog box would be helpful. Depending on the options you select the dialog box will adjust so that you can satisfy those settings.
The Setup Tab
The Stock Tab
The Post Process Tab
If you find this helpful let me know and I will do this for other common dialogs in the CAM environment. Now let the chips fly!
