NYC CNC | Machining an Epoxy-Filled Aluminum Sign in Fusion 360 with "Automatic" CAM! @nyccnc | Uploaded May 2022 | Updated October 2024, 11 hours ago.
Automation isn't just for large manufacturing companies. No matter your shop size or CNC machine, you can use model aware toolpaths in Fusion 360 to create an automated machining process! While we typically think efficiency means finishing a high quantity of parts quickly, we can use this strategy to free ourselves to work on other tasks!
Let's discuss how to use a template that requires no extra CAM programming, speeds and feeds, and how to fill in the lettering on this gorgeous sign using epoxy on the Tormach 24R!
00:00 Automation: A Template with NO Extra CAM Programming
00:30 A Different Type of Efficiency
01:00 Part Dimensions & Toolpaths
01:30 Fusion 360: 3D Contour
02:53 Tessellations and Tolerance: A Note on Larger Parts
04:00 Avoid Gouging the Part + Using Part Template
04:58 Setup & Workholding: Super Glue & MDF Sandwich
05:45 Tooling: LSC Variable 3-Flute
06:12 Double Checking Tool Height
06:30 Adaptive Roughing Speeds & Feeds
07:00 Machining the Cusp Option & Dust Boot
07:44 Fusion 360 Flat Toolpath Speeds & Feeds
08:27 Linking Tab: Leads & Transitions
08:58 3D Contour Speeds & Feeds
09:55 Smaller Tool for Lettering
10:26 3D Contour Speeds & Feeds
10:55 Chamfer Speeds & Feeds
11:26 Epoxy Backfilling with DR CRAFTY Resin
12:27 Finished Sign and Final Thoughts!
