Autodesk Inventor CAD & Solidcam 2023 & NX Mold Wizard

Explore the solid cam introduction and interface, covering milling, turning, roughing, finishing, and drilling. Learn stock and tool creation, machine definitions, coordinates, and 2.5d and 3d milling and turning basics.

Learn the general steps of solid cam operations, including external or internal machining and selecting the CNC machine and coordinate system; define stock, target, geometry, and toolpaths.

Explore finish operations in SolidCAM, including linear and radial machining, default toolpaths, step over and step down, and radius and angle options with Z top and bottom settings.

In this solidcam session, define the coordinate system and stock, select a 3d model stroke with offset, and configure a 3-axis finishing operation. Simulate the toolpath and generate G-code.

Learn SolidCam 3-axis finishing with 3D constant stepover, from roughing to tool passes, using 50% tool-diameter horizontal stepover; compare horizontal and vertical stepover, e.g., 0.07 vs 0.01, for finishing.

Set up the coordinate system and stock in solid cam turbo 3d hsm, then apply 3d with offset stock for finish passes using a ball nose tool.

Explore Solidcam 3axis finishing with rest machining, define the coordinate system, perform contour roughing, apply finish passes, and analyze rest material with toolpath verification.

Explore turning operations in solid cam, including coordinate system setup, stock creation as a cylinder, facing, external and internal turning, grooving, drilling, and tool path calculations.

learn to set up a mill-turn part in solid cam, define stock and coordinate system, perform facing, outer turning, milling, and 2.5d drilling, and simulate the toolpaths.

Master solidcam multiaxis finishing with five axis milling, using drive surface and edge curves to keep the tool normal to the surface and parallel to curves.

Define regions to assign surfaces as cavity or core and create the parting surface. Use guidelines to set the parting line and then apply to finalize core and cavity definitions.

Design and evaluate the ejection system by creating ejector pins, selecting types and dimensions (diameter 5, length 315), and refining with concept design and booster trim.
