Hi all,
I've been using fusion 360 to teach myself CAM over the last several weeks, and have run a few simple programs on my Haas minimill.
Today, I ran into the "no tool change" limitation of the personal license, but am unsure of the correct way to work around that. I am looking into setting up an educational license for the lab, but as with everything at my workplace, it will take time to get that in place.
My part requires 3 setups - milling the front, right side and lastly the top of the part. For each of these setups, there is a roughing operation with a flat endmill followed by a finishing operation with a ball endmill.
Does this mean that I have to export 6 separate programs, then run them separately on the mill?
i.e.
1. Front, tool#1
2. Front, tool#2
3. Right, tool#1
4. Right, tool#2
5. Top, tool#1
6. Top, tool#2
Does that seem right? If that's the way it needs to be done, I can understand why personal license users are upset...
