About

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 (computer-aided manufacturing) functions is a big step toward using BARN's CNC machines and is required to produce usable G-code from a Fusion 360 model. 

Details

  • Fusion 360 competency required.
  • This class is required for the second session of either Introduction to CNC Mill or Introduction to CNC Lathe.
  • Wear closed-toe shoes in the studio. Tie back long hair, avoid loose-fitting clothing and jewelry and roll up your sleeves. Wear hearing protectors when warranted and safety glasses; bring your own or use BARN's.

Instructor
Eli Backer

Eli Backer is an artist, composer, and engineer who works in a wide range of media and is constantly making. A Bainbridge native, she holds a master's degree in glass from the Rhode Island School of Design, and a bachelor's in computer engineering from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. Her work can be found in the Cynthia Sears Artist’s Books Collection at the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art, at the Center for Book Arts in NYC, and at the Fleet Library in Providence, R.I. She finds setting type and working with the presses quite meditative. In the Print and Book Studio, this monitor can certify people to use these pieces of equipment: metal type setting, wood type setting, the Vandercook proof press, the provisional presses, and the Challenge press.
