The Manufacturing section of Fusion 360 is an essential element of using BARN’s CNC machines. In this class, you’ll learn about:

• Setup (Machine), Stock, and Post Processor tabs of Setups in Fusion 360's Manufacturing section.
• The various Mill and Turn (lathe) operations available, and when to use them.
• Details of Tool Library locations, importing into your Fusion application, and their relationship to the tools in the CNC machines.
• Post Processors, what they are, where to find them, how to import them, and how they are used.

Knowing how to utilize the CAM functions is a big step toward using BARN's CNC machines and is required to produce usable g-code from a Fusion 360 model. 

Prerequisites

• Fusion 360 competency.
• Please note this class is required for the second session of either Introduction to CNC Mill or Introduction to CNC Lathe two-session classes.
