Learn how to use roughing strategies in Fusion to efficiently remove stock when machining a Formula SAE rim. You’ll create 2D and 3D adaptive roughing toolpaths and apply a facing operation to prepare surfaces for machining. These techniques help optimize material removal and establish a foundation for finishing operations.

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

Create a 2D adaptive roughing toolpath
Create a 3D adaptive roughing toolpath
Create a facing toolpath

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