CNC Milling With CAM in Fusion 360

In this project, I developed 2 types of CAM programs for running the milling simulation for two shapes.

One is the original shape which has a square shape, and another is from the past assignment in a 3D print project which has a round shape.

First, I developed a milling simulation with a square shape.

To conduct simulation, we need to proceed with 3 steps which are setup, toolpath, and simulation.

In the setup, we decide the point of the origin and size of the milling object like the figure.

Next, we need to decide toolpath.

In this square shape, there are some horizontal surfaces to the bottom surface.

Therefore, for the toolpath, I selected face toolpath.

We can select the face tool path and select the same layer of the horizontal surfaces in the shape.

For the using brush, I selected #104 which has a small edge for milling, and #132 for finishing.

This round shape needs milling from two sides.

First, I set up for one side.

We decide the size and origin. This meshes so, I put mesh settings in the setup like figure.

This shape is not like a squared shape which composed of many horizontal surfaces.

Therefore, I used horizontal and parallel to make the tool path.

For the brush, I used #104 for the milling and #132 for the finishing.

Next, I set up another side.

I created the new setup and change the coordinate system like the figure.

Then like the previous step, I created a toolpath. This time, I used horizontal and ramp for making the toolpath.

As same as the previous step, for the brush, I used #104 for the milling and #132 for the finishing.

To prevent moving the milling object. I will execute milling bottom side (setup3) first and topside(setup1) next.
