As our machining geometry gets more complicated, Autodesk® Fusion 360™ is up to the task! With a host of standard and adaptive toolpaths we can rapidly remove material from even the most complicated 3d parts. In this course, we explore how to rough and finish geometry that requires tool motion in X, Y, and Z simultaneously, learning how to finish even the finest of details. We’ll wrap up this course by creating a full CNC program for a part, simulating it, and exporting it to G-code.

TOP REVIEWS FROM 3-AXIS MACHINING WITH AUTODESK FUSION 360
Its a fantastic course, just that the assignments were quite easy.
The course was really great for Manufacture Engineers.
It was great and no doubt it will be because it is Autodesk . Thank you.
If you put the time in and apply yourself, learning a lot of great machining tips as well as being able to generate proper NC code and setup sheets for a machine shop can be achieved.
