Finish mounting faces.
00:05
After completing this video,
00:06
you'll be able to create two D pocket tool paths to finish
00:09
mounting faces and create a two D contour to finish a rotor relief
00:15
in fusion 3 60. Let's carry on with the data set. From our previous example.
00:19
At this point,
00:20
we've created a 3d adaptive tool path that allowed us to rough the entire part for
00:24
one
00:25
A two D contour to finish the outside
00:28
A two D pocket to semi rough the piston bore and
00:31
A two D bore to finish machining the piston bore.
00:34
There are a lot of other areas on the caliper that we need to finish.
00:38
For example, we need to take a look at finishing off all of these various faces
00:43
and we need to finish off this corner which is a road of relief.
00:47
We're gonna take a look at doing this a couple of different ways
00:50
to get started. We want to again use our two D pocket tool path with tool number seven
00:55
when we did this before, we used it as a semi rough for the piston boar,
00:59
but now we're gonna select faces and we're gonna
01:02
be using it for finishing off these faces.
01:05
Noting that when we make our selections,
01:07
the highlighted edges know that it's automatically an open pocket,
01:11
we can make additional selections,
01:13
it knows the areas that it needs to machine and
01:15
the two D contours that needs to go around.
01:18
And when we select things like these top faces
01:20
notice that it is showing these holes here,
01:23
which could potentially be a problem and things where we
01:25
might have the tool jumping over or avoiding those areas.
01:29
But these are all things that we're gonna find out. When we preview the tool path
01:32
for the heights. We're gonna leave all the default settings.
01:35
Noting that the selected contours are going to be
01:37
the bottom height for each of those tool paths
01:40
in the passes section.
01:42
We want to disable stock to leave because we're
01:44
gonna be using this as a finishing tool path
01:47
because we've only left a small amount of material on the part.
01:50
We don't really need to worry about doing a roughing
01:52
or a semifinish path for any of these areas.
01:55
We're simply going to come in and clear out
01:57
the rest of the material that was left behind
01:59
for our linking parameters.
02:01
We're gonna leave all the default settings and say OK, to preview the tool path
02:05
again. F seven on the keyboard will allow us to see
02:11
as we rotate this around.
02:12
We can see that the cutting movements are going
02:14
over those openings where we do have our holes,
02:17
these holes have not been drilled yet.
02:19
So this is perfect because we want to make sure that all of these areas are finished.
02:23
You will know that we didn't machine the areas where we have our rotor relief.
02:28
If I hit F seven to toggle off our tool path display,
02:31
we still need to remove material from the wall and the floor in this area.
02:35
And we do have a filet that we have to contend with.
02:37
But everything else in this point has been finished.
02:40
We finished the piston bore, we finish off the outside sections of all the geometry
02:46
and everything except for these small areas has been finished on this side.
02:50
So what we wanna do now is we want to use another
02:53
tool path to come in and take care of these corners.
02:56
We're gonna be using two D contour and this time we need to select a different tool
03:01
for this. We're gonna be using tool number eight.
03:03
So we need to go back into our precision machining tool library
03:07
and select our half inch bowl nose mill.
03:10
When we take a look at the parameters for our
03:11
Bullnose mill note that the corner radius is 0.06.
03:15
This means that it's going to leave a 0.03 radius on the corners,
03:19
which happens to match exactly what we have here.
03:23
But the problem is we don't have a contour or
03:25
an edge that we can select at the very bottom
03:28
on our geometry selections,
03:30
we're gonna be selecting the upper edge at the top of that file.
03:33
But then on our heights, we need to make sure instead of using the selected contour
03:38
that we select the height that we want to go to.
03:40
This can be an edge, a vertex or a face. And this will allow us to machine down to that
03:47
on the passes section.
03:48
We're not gonna be using this for a semi finishing or a roughing tool path.
03:53
We're only using it for a finishing tool path.
03:56
However, we left material behind.
03:58
So we do want to make sure that we do add a roughing pass which will allow
04:02
us to come in and cut away some of that material rather than fully engaging the tool.
04:07
The linking parameters by default are going to be
04:10
fine leading into and out of this cut.
04:12
But if we need to,
04:13
we can do things like extend the lead in
04:15
distance or increase or decrease the radius value.
04:19
We're gonna say OK, and take a look at the tool path by hitting F seven.
04:23
Now keep in mind that the radius value that we were trying to leave here was 0.03.
04:29
If we rotate this around, we want to make sure that we are able to completely machine,
04:34
we can start to see the face coming through here and the face coming through here.
04:39
Keeping in mind that in process stock is going to be
04:42
a rough approximation or a rough look at the material removed.
04:46
We will need to go in to verify and we will
04:48
need to also just use common sense when making these selections
04:52
to ensure that all the material is being removed.
04:55
At this point, everything looks like it has been removed. OK?
04:57
Which means that we can move on to doing additional tool paths,
05:00
things like drilling the holes.
05:02
But for now,
05:03
let's go back to our named view and let's make sure
05:05
that we save this before moving on to the next step.
