Curso 2 de 5 en SpecializationCAD and Digital Manufacturing

Design, engineering, and manufacturing are undergoing a digital transformation, and the need for a collaborative product development environment is becoming an ever-growing requirement. Autodesk® Fusion 360™ meets this need by connecting CAD, CAM, and CAE in a single cloud-based platform unlike any other tool of its kind. This course builds upon digital manufacturing trends and foundational CAD concepts discussed in Course 1 of this series by introducing Fusion 360 as a problem-solving tool. In this course, we take the next step in connecting CAD, CAM, and CAE through a series of short exercises on 3D modeling, rendering, simulation, and computer aided manufacturing. After completing this course series, you will be able to: • Demonstrate knowledge of and apply job entry level skills in computer aided design, computer aided engineering (CAE) and computer aided manufacturing (CAM) using Fusion 360 software. • Describe and apply design based workflows for design, engineering and manufacturing using Fusion 360 software. • Utilize Fusion 360 cloud based collaboration features for project sharing and design review.

CAM and 3D printing resources

Fusion 360 is the first 3D CAD, CAM, and CAE tool of its kind. It connects your entire product development process in a single cloud-based solution supporting the digital manufacturing process. With Fusion 360, you can create toolpaths to machine your components or use the 3D printing workflow to create a design prototype. This week covers the basics of CAM and 3D printing using Fusion 360.

This lesson will begin the process of programming

a CNC machine using the CAM capabilities of Fusion 360.

We'll begin by creating a new design with the FSAE,

steering wheel CAM file and saving it.

Next, we'll change the work-space workspace to CAM.

And CAM, and then use the browser to focus on the part that we're going to program.

We'll be creating the tool path for the base-plate. base plate.

So, we'll turn off the visibility of all the other components.

And under the steering wheel base-plate, base plate,

also turn off the visibility of the tachometer circuit.

The first step of this process is creating a setup to orient the part in the CNC machine.

This means telling the machine what process will be used,

what size the material is,

and what the orientation of the material in the CNC machine will be.

Selecting set up setup in the tool bar will open a dialogue with three tabs.

The setup tab allows us to select the operation type which we will set to milling.

Then milling, then we can begin to establish

the orientation of the material in the machine.

I want to set the origin in the upper left at the top of the part,

so I can choose the stock point and select that corner.

When I select the orientation of the axis,

it's still based on the model.

So, I need to reorient the coordinate system for the machine,

so that the machine's Z axis will align with the models Y axis.

I'll select the Z axis option of the dialog,

and select Y axis of the model that is now visible on the screen.

This happens to align X in the correct direction, so that now,

all I have to do is put the stock point back in

the upper left corner on the top of the plate.

The body is selected by default,

but it's important to know that in a more complex model,

or one that displays the fixture,

you might need to specifically select the body that you want to cut.

There is also a fixture option that you can use to

select the bodies that are holding the work-piece,

workpiece, so you can avoid cutting them.

The bounding box displayed in yellow,

shows us the initial suggestion Fusion 360

is making for the size of the material we would need to cut.

Moving to the stock tab,

we can change the mode in which the stock is calculated.

We will use relative size,

and the default values in place for the offsets.

Changing the view position,

I can see the one millimeter stock is added to the side,

and to the top.

This is even easier to see when switching to the perspective with,

or through a phases mode,

so there's no perspective distortion when looking directly at a view cube phase.

If we did decide to change the size of the stock,

the coordinate system would follow the point of the stock,

so that it would automatically re-position to maintain our selection.

Finally, on the post-process tab,

we can add a program name or number,

and a program comment.

These values will be included in the post-process output.

So, output, so that if the part requires multiple setups,

it's easier to see what code is being used for which phase of cutting the part.

For more complex parts,

using multiple machine WCS systems is helpful but we won't need that for this part.

Now, we'll click okay to complete the setup and save the file.
