Simultaneous Multi-axis Tutorial

#ICON#

INTRODUCTION

In this tutorial you will edit a solid model and toolpath the solid model. You will also be introduced to several simultaneous multi-axis paths. The following lessons will not be an exhaustive explanation of multi-axis toolpaths, however, it will introduce you to the 5th-axis swarf and flowline toolpath that can be used to accomplish the vast majority of your multi-axis machining needs.

OBJECTIVES

- Demonstrate use of model prep features (Push-Pull, Move, Modify Fillet, and Remove Fillet)
- Create toolpaths in Mastercam

INSTRUCTIONS

To complete this exercise you will prepare a Mastercam file to do the following:

1. Edit solid to match print
2. Move top of part .1in below origin
3. Toolpath (cut from 2in diameter bar stock)

- The swarf and flowline toolpaths used in this model are not necessarily the most efficient way to remove the material. However, the goal of this assignment is to introduce you to the swarf and flowline toolpaths.

Note |  | All feeds and speeds are to be calculated appropriately using the Feeds & Speeds guide located below. All cutting tools used are to be coated carbide. |

Note |  | Save your work in Mastercam often. You don't want to lose hours worth of work if something goes wrong. |
