CNC Toolpaths for Multi-Axis Milling


Course overview

Computer numerical controlled machines, or CNC for short, can have a nearly endless number of options. Most machines today control tool motion in 3-axes, X, Y and Z, but can be upgraded to include a 4th or 5th axis as well, A and B.

Additionally, there are many machines on the market that are already 5-axis capable. The good news is that Fusion has you covered if you need to control multi-axis positioning or simultaneous motion in all 5 axes at once.

After this course, you'll be able to: 

  • Recognize multi-axis geometry.
  • Identify 3+2 vs. Simultaneous machining.
  • Practice the application of multi-axis toolpaths.
