In this module, you learn to create a new setup in an existing program using a new vise model with soft jaws.  You create a program to finish machine OP2 of a part and validate stock removal with simulation.  You create all required documentation and g-code, load and verify a program in machine control, machine a part and perform a final inspection.

After completing this module, you’ll be able to:

• Create a CAM setup.
• Use toolpaths to remove leftover stock from OP1.
• Use 2D contour to finish machine the profile.

• Create a new setup for caliper and soft
• Adaptive clear remaining stock
• Face remaining stock
• Practice exercise
• Challenge exercise
• Module quiz

In this module, you will use toolpaths to finish various areas of the caliper reviewing in-process stock and tool changes for efficiency.

After completing this module, you’ll be able to:

• Identify remaining stock on a model.
• Use toolpaths to finish machine a part.

• Rough the caliper with an adaptive toolpath
• Use 2.5 axis toolpaths to finish caliper surfaces
• Bore mounting holes
• Chamfer edges
• Practice exercise
• Challenge exercise
• Module quiz

In this module, you use simulation to validate stock removal from a single setup as well as multiple setups to ensure all stock has been removed.  You  review machine simulation and create final documentation and output g-code to finish machine a part.

After completing this module, you’ll be able to:

• Use simulation to validate stock removal.
• Set up a machine simulation.
• Create CAM documentation.

• Simulate toolpaths
• Machine simulation
• Create a setup sheet and NC program
• Practice exercise
• Challenge exercise
• Module quiz

In this module, you will set up soft jaws on a machine, set up the WCS location and verify all tools.  You will load a program, proof, and run a part.

After completing this module, you’ll be able to:

• Set up soft jaws on a CNC mill.
• Validate coordinate location and tools.
• Load and verify a CNC program.
• Machine a part.

• Set up soft jaws to be machined
• Machine soft jaws
• Module quiz

In this module, you perform an inspection on a machined part to verify accuracy to the blueprint and surface quality and completeness.  You  learn how to set up inspection in Fusion and manually enter inspection values to ensure they are within spec.  You will  also learn how to set up a Probe Geometry cycle that can validate feature size and spec during the machining process.

After completing this module, you’ll be able to:

• Review a blueprint.
• Visually inspect a machined part.
• Set up a manual inspection in Fusion.
• Inspect dimensional accuracy of a part.
• Use Probe Geometry

• Visual part inspection
• Manual inspection setup
• Manual part inspection
• Probe geometry
• Practice exercise
• Challenge exercise
• Module quiz
