Description

Autodesk PowerMill provides comprehensive milling strategies for 4 axis and 5-axis machining, providing you with the tools you need for manufacturing molds, dies, and highly complex parts. In this class, we will take a look at using PowerMill to program & toolpath a variety of different milling parts. While this class is meant to familiarize you with the details of programming operations parts in PowerMill, the main objective of this class is to teach you the workflow of programming parts in PowerMill. Focusing on the workflow as opposed to specific tools and details in the software will ensure the smoothest possible transition between programming parts in this class, and confidently taking what you've learned into your career.

In this "Autodesk PowerMILL" program you will experience a unique successful method with hands on parts for practice.

This course is designed for individuals student who are new to Autodesk PowerMILL as well as working in any company who had learned Delcam PowerMILL long time ago and just want a brush up on the tools and operation quickly and use in their projects immediately.

This course introduces all the operations (milling and drilling 4 axis & 5 axis) of Autodesk PowerMILL in a step by step process which will enable you to clearly understand the manufacturing.

Once you have completed this computer based training course, you will be fully capable of using these toolpath and operation to create CNC program for drilling and Milling (multi Axis).

Major Highlights of The Course

All the Parts files practiced in the Lectures are included in this course for download.

This course has been Designed using Autodesk PowerMILL 2020 version but is equally good for any version of PowerMILL.

A beginner student can start practicing the Autodesk PowerMILL right from lecture one.

A Professional person brushing up Autodesk PowerMILL can easily directly jump to the section of their choice.

This course has been designed such that you can create toolpath & CNC program for any type of part.
