A brief description of tool cribs, and adding a tool from tool library into a tool crib.
Creating a custom tool crib and creating tool paths to machine a sample part.
A short summary on how SolidWorks generates tool paths automatically.
In this session we will discuss about some of the face mill operation parameters.
In this session we will continue with our discussion about the face mill operation parameters.
In this session we will discuss about some of the Rough mill operation parameters.
In this session we will continue with our discussion about the rough mill operation parameters.
A discussion on counter mill tool path.
A discussion on machining features, and how to create them interactively.
In this session we will optimize the tool paths that we created in the last session.
A discussion on hole machining tool paths, and how to machine a part from different directions.
A description of 3 axis tool pats of SolidWorks CAM.
The purpose of this course is to take a person with some CNC mill experience, and within duration of this course teach them how to operate SolidWorks CAM to generate G-codes for 2.5 and 3 axis operations. If you do not have any experience with machining I would recommend that you first take another course of mine, it’s title is “CNC cutting tools and machining techniques” there you will learn about cutting tools, cutting data, and machining techniques, it will help you to have some basic knowledge of the machining which is essential for this course.
