This would be a class aimed to provide information to better understand concepts of 5 axis machining. Specifically explaining RTCP (Rotational Tool Center Point) versus traditional methods for 5 Axis simultaneous. Additionally explaining concepts of 4/5 axis indexing and the pros/cons of using Dynamic Work Offsets (G54.4), versus Incline Plane (G68.2/PLANE SPATIAL/CYCLE 800) commands versus traditional methods. Why someone would choose dynamic workoffset versus incline plane. How defining coordinate systems in your CAM software affects how incline plane is programmed. Understanding Euler Angles convention and how this setting on the machine effects the Gcode.

Learn how to review your toolpaths through full machine simulation to find the area's of concern Then how to modify them without costly recalculation times.

Learn how to utilize inprocess probing and macro programming to do things with your CNC mill and lathe you didn't think were possible.

Overview of product design and CNC machining using Generative design and CAM in Fusion 360.

Shows how different Autodesk manufacturing software could be used together to define and visualise tool paths and probe paths in AR and VR.

This class will demonstrate how multiaxis machining can greatly improve your machining efficiency whilst also explaining how a typical PowerMill customer will overcome many of the common problems that customers of these machines are likely to experience.

Fusion Production is a brand new product from Autodesk. In this class, you will get an overview of this cloud product that runs in a web browser and on mobile devices. You will learn the lay of the land and how to schedule and monitor what is happening on your shop floor. There will be time for QA in the end.
