Hello,
I am looking for a tutor that can help me get up to speed with Fusion 360 with a five axis Haas mill.
We can do this on line or if you are in the Dallas Fort Worth area at my shop.
Thank you,
Tim
If you're planning on doing 5-axis positional work, or basic trimming (swarf toolpath) Fusion will be OK.
If you're planning on doing any serious simultaneous work, especially surfacing, you're probably going to feel the limitations of Fusion as a 5 axis program. And it's fairly easy to do a large amount of damage to a 5th axis machine with a crash that a 3 axis would shrug off.
I'm not knocking Fusion here (although I will knock it for plenty of things - it's great for the money) but there's a reason the 'real' 5-axis CAM programs cost more than a lot of new cars.
It all depends on what you need.
You'll also want to find a good backplotter and get your machine/fixtures into it. It can be extremely hard to visualize what's happening in the machine with 5 axis work, even when running the 'Simulation' feature in your CAM program. Get all your toolholders modeled accurately for the same reason.
