about your images..delete the tip!!

  1. Remember to credit/reference all your images to their authors. Open source helps us create change faster together, but we all deserve recognition for what we make, design, think, develop.

  2. remember to resize and optimize all your images. You will run out of space and the more data, the more servers, the more cooling systems and energy wasted :) make a choice at every image :)

This image is optimised in size with resolution 72 and passed through tinypng for final optimisation. Remove tips when you don't need them anymore!

Process and workflow

CNC Tutorial

We started with this 2D shape, shared by Camille at our Fablab who led our CNC tutorial.

Note, the following instructions are for this shape with this CNC bit ( ADD DETAIL of the bit we used)

ADD PHOTO

Then we opened Fusion.

Working in the Design workspace:

  • Insert --> Insert DXF --> Select DXF file (see files below, here it is a dxf file of the 2D image above)
  • Then select the yellow square here that is on the X,Y axis (red, green)
  • Hit OK

ADD 2 PHOTOS

  • Select the shape
  • Create --> Extrude --> Enter 12 mm (because our piece of wood was 12mm)

ADD PHOTOS

Then move to the Manufacture Workspace

  • Setup --> New Setup
  • Select "Body" under Setup / "Model" & select the shape
  • Go to the Stock tab and select these settings (ADD PHOTO)
  • Go back to Setup tab and under "Work Coordinate System (WCS)" / Stock Point, select box point and select the lower left corner (@ z=0). This will become the origin (0, 0, 0) for the CNC machine once it starts (ADD PHOTO)

  • Double check Z axis is going up and down! This should have been done in the Insert step.

  • Select 2D --> 2D Pocket

  • Select bottom circle (@ z =0) ADD PHOTO
  • Make sure to have these settings
  • Click OK and popup will come up, in top left there is a + sign, click this to add the mill type, we used a flat end mill

  • Add these settings (ADD PHOTO)

  • Select 2D --> 2D Contour

  • Select these settings
  • It is VERY IMPORTANT to add tabs for this part (2D contout / Geometry / Tabs), because this is what keeps the final piece from flying away from the rest of the wood.

Now we simulate the cutting to make sure everything looks good

  • Select Actions --> Simulate with Machine
  • Check "Stock" box
  • Press play, watch to check everything looks good

Now we export

  • Exit simulation
  • Right click your object on the lefthand dropdown under Setups, click Post Process
  • Select the machine, for us we used a Mekanika
  • Double check the Operations tab to make sure both actions (2D pocket + 2D contour in this case) will be executed
  • Name the file and click Post!

Now to the CNC machine

( DOUBLE CHECK THIS PART)

  • Screw or otherwise securely attach the piece of wood to the CNC table (ADD PHOTO)
  • Make sure the emergency stop button is easily accessible (ADD PHOTO)
  • With the CNC unplugged, put in the correct bit
  • Turn on the computer of the CNC
  • Click "Home" button so the machine can orient itself on the X, Y axis
  • Then we need to calibrate in the Z direction, so we take the ____ (ADD NAME I FORGET) and click the ruler button below the Home button
  • Now we set the speed, in our program we chose 20K ( ADD UNIT) so we needed to select between 4 & 5 (RETAKE PHOTO)
  • Put in the thumb drive, open the file
  • Go to the bottom left corner of the wood, click the XY button, this sets (0, 0) to this point (i.e., the starting point)
  • Move the drill around using the X, Y up/down, side/side, buttons and watch the screen to make sure that the drill will be able to go all around the shape without hitting the screws or outside of the wood
  • Prepare a vacuum to vacuum up the sawdust as we go
  • Put in earplugs, wear safety goggles and tie up any loose hair or clothing

  • Plug in the drill, turn the drill on & press play!

  • When its done, turn the drill off, move it away from the work station using the X/Y buttons

  • Using a chisel, break off the tabs and remove the piece
  • Sand off any sharp edges and you're done!
  • To finish off, unplug the drill
