Thanks Freind is it possible with hsmworks 2012

Rob, did you ever get this working? Would be nice to have it automated, but i find the HSMWorks lathe weak on these operations, in fact its pretty weak for anything but the simplest ops. I have developed a workflow for our DN Solutions 2100LSY (fanuc, y-axis with sub) where the main program uses passthru to populated variables in a pick-pull-part subprogram. Once complete, returns to the main program to run the ops on the sub. Its not automated in that you have to enter a few variables in the main program passthru, but it is persistent and you don't have to re-enter every time you re-post. Thanks for the video!

I'm a Solidworks user and for me the only reason I haven't moved to fusion is because the skeleton modelling seems more difficult, primarily because you can set features like extrude to start at a vertex and end on another vertex from a reference sketch. I see fusion users getting around this by making planes everywhere that they want to start and end a feature. I prefer to have as few planes as possible, preferably only the 3 default planes. Then I drive all of my features with sketches on those planes. I'd love to know if Fusion plan to add the ability to "from vertex" and "to vertex" on features like extrude and cut.

Great Video!!!

awesome. kindly make more videos please!!!

Is there any chance you will be making more videos soon? Learning so much from your content

Appreciate your videos always.

I've been hunting for an video showing a good example of master modeling in Fusion 360... finally found it here! I come from SolidWorks with master modeling and have been hung up trying to get this to work in Fusion. Great tips, pros, cons etc. Thank you!

You're a gentleman and a scholar. Finally got around to watching this - huge help for what we're working on right now!

Nice workflow example!

Interesting, but on my laptop, it is impossible to see what you are entering in the various fields - your screen is so wide and yet you are using just a small portion of it - which makes it impossible to read the details of what you are doing. Just a heads up in case you do any more videos.

Ha!

Welcome back Rob. You’ve been keeping us hanging for years. Cheers Aaron 🍻

super helpful, trying to decode fusion cam ops for the best tool path's can be super frustrating. Please keep sharing !!

Hey I can't find this anywhere in the samples folder, did this end up getting posted? If not, any change you could throw a link to the .f3d?

wow! Great stuff!

I'm late to the game and just started machining as a hobby. I 'm learning Fusion 360 CAM now and this video was very helpful. Too many videos just tell you to set parameters without any discussion about why or how to decide.

Awesome job explaining and how to make a more efficient tool path. Biggest issue I have is understanding how to get rid of all the unnecessary stuff and get what is just needed to get part cut . Please keep showing us comparisons like this . Thank you

Hello Rob, are there any best practices to prevent cutting air in adaptive clearing?

Big issue I've ran into when employing these techniques, what happens when my fillets "end" on flat surfaces, in other words it doesn't wrap around the part to form a closed contour? This really messes me up when using the scallop and morph tricks you showed because now my tool isnt going "along" the fillet. It also seems that they took stepover control out of flow in beta :(

Wow! Excellent video and I like the pace. More more please.

Two questions, why cant we learn this stuff directly from Autodesk in an intuitive way and second, why are 4th axis (XYZ-A) toolpaths so difficult for them to implement?

Can we get more videos on how-to in HSMworks? There are a lot of videos using it in fusion. But not a lot in solidworks. Id like to learn more about the equations and different toolpaths. Thanks!

Hey Rob i was wandering if you could help me with machining a guitar neck i am used to master cam but got now Fsm autodesk with in solidworks 2016 i struggle with the 3 d shape of the back of neck hope you can help or now where i could go to Thanks

고맙습니다 좋은 공부가 되었습니다

It's like doctors reading MRI results many years ago - you have to understand what's going on. These are awesome helpful insights! Understanding how the algorithm works helps great deal with smooth tool paths (at least for me, after many blind attempts). Thanks!!!

Hi Rob, amazing work. Can you go into a little detail on how you "reduced the poly count" in Fusion 360? Or was this step performed in other software? Thanks, Devin.

Rob - Thanks for posting this. I use NX9 at work and Fusion 360 at home. I do this type of modeling in NX all the time, but get the benefits of Wavelinking my master model geometry to my separate components and also using Interpart References to allow my component to pick up on parameters that I defined in my master model. I've always wanted to try something like Wavelinking and Interpart References and I think your method gets the closest that Fusion 360 will allow. Thanks for sharing! - Brenton

Hi MR. Rob. I have a question .I want non-stopping tool path . Especially surface milling operations for best surface quality ..I want NO TOOL PATH TRACE on workpice .How to AUTODESK ? ..Meantime I dont use AUTODESK ,only I'm doing research. Thank You....( My English some bad , excuse me )

Great video, thanks!

very informative, long time not wacth such interesting vedio, thanks a million.

Hi Rob, great video. Ive been using Edgecam for years and decided to have a look at what else is out there. This is a great video its helped ALOT, so thanks. A quick question, is the middle part of the 3 scallop faces vertical?.... Im guessing its not due to the way you went about the scallop. But if it was would you have done that first and then the lower and upper curves afterwards?

just noticed that there is only one video and it was done almost a year ago, bummer I thought you guys would be working on many videos, I like what both of you do very much. and really need to get more cam training.

superb CAM teaching, been searching for something like this to help with HSM as I am all youtube-U thought after hours. Thanks a million!

Thanks for the great video Rob. Based on this I ran an idea up the flagpole at ideastation "Master Sketches & Global parameters"

Thank you M. Lockwood. Master modeling helps to keep complexity at bay. For this reason I suggest this concept to be introduced early in 'beginner's tutorials'. I do not think it would be too tedious for would be home machinist / designers. I see here, in the comments, some of the celebrities of KZbin ! The multitude of viewers you serve (for that we are all thankful !) would benefit from Master Modeling early introduction - at least of the concept. Maybe just mention it, use it , show it briefly... ;)

What do you normally use mastercam?

Interesting! I use a very similar technique for larger solid works assemblies at work.

Awesome video! Wish I had known about this technique back when we were designing some projects and products!

Pretty freakin' awesome, thanks! I was just fighting with this dependency mess on a project. Changed one thing in the beginning of history and got 15 errors down the line, all components that somehow reference back to the original, lost references, CAM toolpaths too. Very helpful indeed, thanks! And this way it's really nice to keep CAM and its fixturing separate, like you mentioned. Definitely going to use this method for next thing.

Another solid video... thanks for the tips!

Great overview. I use master modeling techniques in SolidWorks but not sure I have patience with Fusion 360's sketch environment yet. Thanks for sharing.

Great video!

Thank you for sharing Rob. I enjoy your thoughts and ideas. I use Inventor and Fusion. I will start you use your Master idea more.

Definately would like more videos using fusion in the cam. Thank you for explaining what the tool paths encompass and the simple steps taken to get there. From a home machinist I have to learn and experiment from my own hands on approach and to decipher good information from bad information on KZbin. Have spent a lot of time watching autodesk learning videos and others that seem to know what they are doing. Most talk too much, or try to have a conversation approach that become lengthy. I like how you deliver information, accurate and direct. Along with an understandable explanation of what is going to happen. Not much out there that explain information like you have. So,, continue to share you knowledge, as I will not be looking to take anyone's job but to become more proficient on my own tasks. Definately helpful and appreciate you approach, look forward to more if you decide to share!!

You had me at 42,000 rpm.

Show off!

LOVE IT!

Killer work as always dude 👍🏻
