Learn how to semi-finish and finish complex part geometry using 2D and 3D machining strategies in Fusion. You’ll create pocket, radial, parallel, pencil, drilling, and trace toolpaths to machine detailed features and refine surfaces. These techniques help achieve precise geometry and improve surface quality during CNC machining.

After completing this module, you’ll be able to:

Create a 2D offset roughing (pocket) toolpath
Create a radial toolpath
Create a parallel toolpath
Create a pencil toolpath
Create a drilling operation
Create a trace toolpath

This module is part of the Fusion CORE: CAM (Imperial) course.
