![]() ![]() This lets me keep the process of building the part in Fusion360 completely separate from all the other considerations of Machining. That component tho is ill suited for laying up parts for CAM processing, so I use the paste command to bring parts into a CAM-Layout component for each different material thickness I might be intending the Maslow to cut. I set up some Components just to keep parts organized and some to keep processes organized.Įx: 3D-Model (contains all the components and subassemblies and collections of parts to make a working model, or the most complete/detailed version i need.Įvery part to be milled is here, but so are imported McMaster-Carr hardware parts, and I’m trying to build the model so that i’m taking advantage of everything Fusion360 offers (weather or nort I can take full advantage of that now is a different matter, but I’m getting better at Joints, and other ‘part to part relationships’) I hope to follow up by posting similar checklists for MaslowCNC specific settings for the various common CAM operations (Drilling, 2D-Pockets, 2D-Contours, etc) in the near future.įusion360 Pre-CAM Checklist.pdf (37.4 KB) Review and save and you’re off to the CAM environment. The Dog-Bones are a function of the material (plywood) and not a function of the model (in most cases) and are therefore part of the CAM preflight, not Model creation process. ![]() ![]() Then copy/paste the Model Components into the CAM-Layout (preserving their edit-ability within the Model Component, with changes flowing through to the CAM-Layout)Īlign and Nest the Components on the CAM-Layout sheets.Ĭreate Dog-Bone radiuses on inside corners (it is important to do this last so as to not effect your model assembly. You then create a CAM-Layout component for each sheet or thickness of sheet you’re planning on milling. (below the top level component of the project.) This assumes that you’ve created your Fusion360 Model with ALL parts to be cut as independent Components and arranged them within a ‘3D-Model’ Component. I made a PDF of the checklist that others might find handy. I worked up a few more ‘best practices’ into a checklist to be completed prior to entering the Fusion360 CAM environment. "and that knowledge is critical to getting the most out of Fusion" - Help rather than belittle as previous, it's key to forums.I found that creating a CAM-Layout Assembly for each workpiece (thickness or sheet) was pretty handy. I simply require the part to be positioned (and constrained) in the mentioned position. "Trying to position components without using constraints tells me you simply don't understand what joints are, and how to use them" - it isn't an aversion to using them as you seem to infer. I quote " Seems like every day someone makes a post saying basically" maybe it shows that it isn't just me that struggles with joints in fusion when coming from other CAD software? Now, it would be appreciated if someone could explain the use of joints to constrain said part, that's all - as per the op. This is exactly what I am saying, I want to constrain the parts as previously mentioned but do not understand joints, hence the OP! I said it confuses me, but the help I got from davebYYPCU got the job done and I'm happy, he didnt get funny about it, he didnt belittle my knowledge in fusion, he helped me, that simple. ![]()
