Fusion Cam:

Challenge:

This was my first time running a CNC CAMmed part on campus independently, so learning Fusion (which I was required to use) was a bit challenging, but I was able to get it done. To ensure safety, I researched the correct feeds and speeds for each tool and ran the HAAS CNC at 5% rapid to minimize the risk of crashing. This approach helped ensure that we met all required tolerances and achieved clean surface finishes, compared to manual machining where finishes can be less consistent. The flats were manually machined beforehand and brought to the correct height prior to CNC operations.
