Rough a 3D part

00:02

Rough A three d. part.

00:05

After completing this video, you'll be able to

00:07

use three D. Adaptive clearing and review material removal

00:12

infusion 3 60.

00:13

We want to get started with the supply data set three axis sample op two dot F three D.

00:19

You can also carry on with your own three access sample.

00:22

If you wish to flip the part over and create a copy of the vice.

00:26

This is good practice to create a situation where you can set up opt to using a fixture

00:32

in this case let's navigate to the manufacturer

00:34

workspace and let's create a secondary set up.

00:37

This contains op one which has our 3D adaptive tool paths are parallel and are flat

00:43

but now we want to create a new setup for operation too.

00:46

To do this we need to make sure that we go to our

00:49

stock settings and that we're bringing the stock in from our proceeding setup.

00:53

You can also continue rest machining which will take

00:55

into account the material removed from operation one.

00:58

It's important to note that if we use this option

01:01

it's going to bring in the information from the previous setup

01:05

So make sure that you don't have additional setups between the two

01:09

in this case. Back on the setup tab.

01:11

We want to make sure that the coordinate system has Z.

01:13

Pointing up and X pointing to the right. We're going to select the default Z axis.

01:18

So I'm going to hold down the left mouse button while I'm hovering over Z.

01:21

And then select Z from our list.

01:24

Then we want to make sure that we flip it that it's in the correct orientation.

01:28

Next we're going to select a stock box point which

01:31

is going to be the upper left hand corner.

01:33

The upper left hand corner is something that we will be

01:36

able to reference since there is still stock in this area.

01:39

We shouldn't have to reset X.

01:42

And why if we are using a stop for the G 54 coordinate system and since this is still a

01:48

one by two stock Z should also still be correct

01:51

because we did not reduce the height of the part.

01:54

However,

01:54

it's always a good idea to check and reset

01:57

your coordinate system when you are resetting or flipping parts

02:02

in this instance.

02:03

We also want to select the model and we're going to select the fixture to include.

02:08

Once again we're going to include the jaws of the vice and the

02:11

top portions of the Vice that could come into contact with our tool.

02:16

Then we want to go to our post processing and

02:18

in this case we're going to have program 2002.

02:23

The WCS offset is once again going to be G- 54 so we'll set it at one.

02:29

We also have the Associated name View but let's go ahead and make sure we name this

02:33

op to first as that's going to be used for the name of our name view.

02:38

Then we'll right click and we'll create a

02:39

new named view that's associated to our setup.

02:43

Now if we take a look at our name view folder, we have op one

02:47

and we have opt to

02:49

when we just select the named view,

02:51

it's only going to change the orientation of the part.

02:54

However,

02:54

when we select the setup it's also going

02:57

to synchronize with the visibility of our components.

02:60

This means that we'll be able to see the stock or the fixture that's used

03:04

in up one and then the stock and fixture that's used in up to.

03:07

We can also see in process stock and all the material that's been removed from op one.

03:13

At this point we want to go ahead and use a three D.

03:15

Adaptive to remove material from the part so

03:18

we can get started exploring our finishing strategies.

03:20

So we'll select three D adaptive clearing and we're going

03:23

to be using tool number five are quarter inch flat

03:27

for the geometry section.

03:28

We are looking at stock contours and we do want to include

03:31

rest machining because we did bring in stock from our previous operation.

03:35

However, once again we are going to use the heights to restrict the depth of our tool

03:40

instead of going all the way to the bottom.

03:42

We are going to use this face as our selection

03:45

in the past this section,

03:46

we do also want to make sure once again

03:49

that our maximum roughing step down is large enough so

03:52

that we aren't spending a lot of time making

03:54

minimal cuts and removing a small amount of material.

03:57

Keep in mind that we do have our fine step down and minimum step down amounts that

04:02

will allow us to get down to those flat areas and also cut back up the part

04:07

At this point we are also going to leave stock at .02 and say Okay,

04:13

This adaptive clearing tool path should remove the majority of material from

04:17

our part and allow us to focus our attention on finishing strategies.

04:21

Once again,

04:22

F seven on the keyboard will allow us to turn off

04:25

the tool path so we can view the stock remaining.

04:28

If the amount of steps left behind are not adequate for your finishing strategies,

04:33

we can always come back and do a semi finishing pass with this adaptive tool path,

04:39

I'm going to right click and I'm going to create a duplicate

04:42

the duplicate operation. We can right click and edit

04:46

once again we are going to be using a rest machining operation which will

04:50

allow us to take into account the three D adaptive that we just created.

04:54

We also want to take a look at our passes and potentially

04:57

reduce our fine step down and maximum wrapping step down amounts.

05:01

In this case I'm going to change my fine step down 2.2

05:06

and we're going to say okay

05:08

This tool path strategy is now going to focus its attention on just

05:11

areas where material was left behind and it is able to remove it.

05:15

So with F. seven you can see that.

05:18

It does focus its attention just on areas where material is left behind.

05:22

Let's right click on this and take a look at the machining time.

05:26

This tool path takes just over 3.5 minutes,

05:28

but it does help us remove some of the material that was left behind.

05:31

By that first operation,

05:33

the original three D.

05:34

Adaptive takes just under three minutes to remove the bulk of the material.

05:38

So we can take a look at using these rough

05:41

and semi rough operations to get a little bit closer to

05:44

fine result that we can bring a ball end

05:47

mill and use finishing strategies on everything here.

05:50

Looks pretty good so far.

05:52

So I'm going to select the activate option to go back to my

05:55

named view and I'm going to save the design before moving on.
