Create a CAM fabrication setup.

After completing this video, you'll be able to
00:08
create a new C
00:09
set up for cutting and define WCS location and stock
00:14
in fusion 3 60.
00:15
We want to get started with the supply data set CM cutting setup dot F 3D.
00:20
We're going to be navigating to the manufacture workspace and make
00:23
sure that we're on the location of the fabrication tools.
00:26
The first thing that we wanna do before setting up a
00:28
fabrication setup is make sure that we change our units.
00:32
We're gonna be using inch units and say, OK,
00:35
when we're talking about fabrication in the manufacture workspace,
00:38
we're talking about laser cutting, water jet or plasma cutting.
00:43
All three of these will have very similar setups and mainly will
00:46
differ in the tools that we're using for the cutting operation.
00:50
So to get started,
00:51
we first want to make sure that we identify creating a new setup for fabrication.
00:57
When we take a look at this part,
00:58
we wanna make sure that we look at the
00:60
stock and that there is no additional stock offset.
01:03
We're gonna set this to zero
01:05
and then we wanna make sure that we navigate back over to our setup
01:10
and that our coordinate system is located in the proper orientation.
01:14
This is gonna differ depending on whether or not you're cutting a single
01:17
part or if you're cutting out multiple parts from a large sheet.
01:20
For our example, I'm gonna be moving the stock point to this bottom lower corner.
01:25
I do need to make sure that Z is pointing up.
01:28
That's gonna be the orientation of my cutting tool.
01:31
The operation type set to cutting doesn't really affect
01:34
whether or not we're using laser water or plasma.
01:37
It just simply needs to know that we're using two D cutting.
01:41
Then we're gonna move over to our post processing.
01:44
I'm gonna set up our program name number as 5001
01:47
and I'm gonna set up our program comment and we're gonna set this up as laser cutting,
01:55
we'll say, OK.
01:56
And now we've generated a new setup that's going to be used for laser cutting
02:01
before we move on. Let's make sure that we do save the data set.
02:04
So we don't lose anything that we've done.
