Simultaneous Multi-axis Exercise

#ICON#

INTRODUCTION

In this exercise you will create multiple planes from a solid model, demonstrate toolpathing of a solid model, and apply correct plane to work coordinate systems.

Your goal is to toolpath half or more of the solid model given. The rest will be completed the following day.

#ICON#

OBJECTIVES

- Apply understanding of tool selection
- Create multiple planes from solid
- Apply correct plane to work coordinate systems
- Demonstrate 2D, 3D, and multi-axis toolpathing of a solid model

INSTRUCTIONS

- In this exercise, feel free to experiment with the other toolpaths. Keep in mind that the flowline and swarf toolpaths will cover all your machining needs.

Note |  | Here is a tip to help you remember whether to use swarf or flowline: Use swarf anytime you want to cut with the side of the tool. Use flowline anytime you want to cut with the tip. |

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