Key benefits

  • Get familiar with Fusion 360 CAM Module and its machining potential with hands-on exercises
  • Explore major production technologies like turning, milling, laser cutting, and additive manufacturing
  • Learn how to setup your program and simulate stock removal

Description

Downloading a piece of 3D software and shaping concepts and ideas is quite easy. However, designing feasible and cost-effective real parts from 3D models can be challenging with traditional production technologies, or even additive manufacturing. This book will give you the know-how and skills to develop your projects from ideas to physical products, and overcome these obstacles. In ‘Making Your CAM Journey Easier with Fusion 360’, you'll discover how to set up a CAM program, pick the right tool, and optimize production. You'll learn the pros and cons of different production technologies, including turning, milling, laser cutting, and 3D printing, and understand how to choose the best option based on your needs. You’ll also explore the important computer-aided manufacturing tools that Fusion 360 offers through the use of examples and best practices. By the end of this book, you’ll understand the potential issues and drawbacks of different design components and apply workarounds to avoid design flaws.

Who is this book for?

This book is for 3D enthusiasts or mechanical designers looking to turn their design ideas into 3D models, and their 3D models into final products. Familiarity with any CAD software or Fusion 360 design module is recommended; the book will then teach you the rest.

What you will learn

  • Choose the best approach for different parts and shapes
  • Avoid design flaws from a manufacturing perspective
  • Discover the different machining strategies
  • Understand how different tool geometries can influence machining results
  • Discover how to check the tool simulation for errors
  • Understand possible fixtures for raw material blocks

This book starts with the basics and explains the parameters down to the coordinate systems and different operations. All the machining strategies are mentioned. The are a few pages on understanding the tools. The software used here is fusion 360 mostly, where the tool libraries are discussed and creating a new tool is also discussed. Next parts are focused on the turning and milling operations. Part 4 is particularly interesting with an insight into additive manufacturing with pros cons and different 3d printing technologies and how to manage limitation on a 3d printer. There is also a quiz section through the chapters.

If you're looking for a comprehensive guide to using Fusion 360 for 3D modeling and manufacturing, this book is an excellent resource. The author covers a wide range of topics, from turning and milling to laser cutting and 3D printing, and provides valuable advice and best practices based on their years of experience in the industry.What sets this book apart is that it doesn't just focus on the technical details of the software, but also provides insights into the practical aspects of manufacturing, such as choosing the right construction technology and optimizing production lots.The arrangement of the chapters in this book makes it easy to follow along and learn at your own pace. While the author assumes some familiarity with CAD software and the Fusion 360 design module, they do an excellent job of teaching the rest, from handling part setup to implementing advanced operations like thread milling and 3D profiling. The chapter on managing the limitations of FDM printers is especially helpful for those new to 3D printing.Overall, this book is a valuable resource for anyone looking to turn their design ideas into final products. The author's experience and insights, combined with the comprehensive coverage of the software, make this a must-read for anyone looking to improve their skills in Fusion 360. I highly recommend it!
