Mill 0-1 (Training Part)
This introductory part will introduce you using the CAM workspace inside Fusion 360 to prepare work for use with the Haas UMC-500 milling machine in 3-axis mode.
You will cover –
- Importing a workholding template and 3D model into Fusion 360.
- Setting up a workholding template for the stock.
- Importing a tool library.
- Creating tool paths to face, rough machine, finish contour, and drill material using preset feeds and speeds.
- Simulating tool paths to ensure safe operation.
- Exporting tool paths into a format suitable for use on the machine.
The CAM/programming portion of this part is self-directed, you should watch and follow along with the videos linked below.
All of the files you will need above are available from the Morson Maker Space Teams group – look in the Haas UMC-500 folder in Files tab of the CNC Machinery channel. Once you have completed the workshop videos you can book time with the Maker Space staff to run your program on the machine. The cutting, including set up of the machine, will take approximately 1.5 – 2 hours.
