For this project, you will create wireframe, create a solid using the extrude feature, change work coordinate systems, and toolpath the solid using 2D & 3D toolpaths. Follow along with the videos to complete this assignment.
Step 1: Create a simple solid with 2.5x2.5x2.5 measurements.
Step 2: Create an L-shaped pocket using OptiRough and Equal Scallop.
Step 3: Create a Square boss using 2D Contour.
Step 4: Create a Bolt Circle using Drill (center drill) and drill.
Step 5: Create a Sphere
To reduce programming time, facing operations will not be included.
OP1: L-Shaped Pocket
OP2: Square Boss
OP3: Bolt Hole Circle
OP4: Spherical Boss
Note | For all operations, the work coordinate system should be located at the upper left-hand corner of the solid. |
Note | Save your work in Mastercam often. You don't want to lose hours worth of work if something goes wrong. |
