Fusion Friday: 5-Axis Turbine Impeller

[@cheeriomartinez]

THanks for this video!

[@JITCADCAM]

My pleasure!

Man i have an impeller that i modeled for fun and tried to make the toolpaths to cut it. I got frustrated so i searched amd found this video. Im basically using the exact same strategies / order of ops as you (with the exception of using 5 axis contour for the body instead of geodesic) and my swarf is over cutting and undercutting certain parts of the impeller fins. Have you tried doing a comparison on this afterwards? Is it all green?

[@JITCADCAM]

So in short yes and no. In this video I did it fast and wasnt looking to get the picky about the final. However now that the new Multi-Axis finishing is out this would be a perfect part.

[@phuckyocouch9098]

​@@JITCADCAMI didn't think to try multi acid finishing. I used it for the body but went right to swarf for the fins. It's good to know though at least you experienced the same issue with swarf I did. Makes me know I'm not going nuts at least. Spent a good hour trying to fix it one day.

I accidentally found out about this channel from Facebook comment in Fusion 360 group. I don't understand why you didn't announced on NextGenCAM channel that you start using the new one and why even making a new channel?!?!?! 😥

[@JITCADCAM]

Because Im off on my own and no longer work for Nexgen lol, Glad to see you have found my new content as well your more than welcome to purchase though me directly.

I thought that it might be something like that. When I start my own CNC shop I will definitely start with Fusion, and I am really spoiled when it comes about get postprocessor do exactly what and how I want it to work so you might be one of first person to ask to help. Keep with all that great content @@JITCADCAM 👍

[@DATCNC01]

These videos are educational, informative and the best way to advertise for Fusion and your business! Keep em coming Phil, I'm picking up something from every video. Stay healthy - Tim

Love to hear it!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for video.. :) As someone who uses Inventor Cam and Fusion 360 Cam, I can say this... You can do a lot of work with these software. Except for this part. You cannot process a Turbine Propeller efficiently and well. Maybe you can make 1-2 pieces. But if you are going to make hundreds of these parts in mass production, F360 is definitely not for you... Fusion 360, HSMWorks and Inventor Cam work well with 5 axis indexing. But when you want to process a very complex part such as a Turbine Propeller in 5 axes simultaneously, it will be insufficient for you. Autodesk's only solution for this job is Powermill.

Seems like Fusion is very bad with such parts and this model is still a very simple impeller! Your roughing…., a lollipop for finishing and deburring toolpath?? Come on man, you really can do better, this is. Please make some videos that are helpful and not such a waste of your and our time. Sorry not sorry

[@JITCADCAM]

Haha thanks for the feed back. Yes this is a simple design as well there could be several more paths but the video isnt about how to do everything its about changing how people think when using the software. I would gladly make an hour plus long video about anything the thing is nobody watches it.

[@Kveiteson]

@@JITCADCAM the style of the video is great, don’t get me wrong. I just think you should focus on methods and toolpaths that would be used to machine such a part instead of randomly chosen strategies. You would teach people how to program an impeller and use Fusion at the same time, instead of that people maybe pick up how to not program such a part. That’s not good neither for the people nor the shop they are working for

[@Einzbrn]

Keep em coming! Excited to see your videos every Friday

[@JITCADCAM]

That's the plan!

[@AlenMalen-q6e]

Can you make video about how to machine this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZTGXqmuebZ3arMsi=_hcREnrsLdGxrqXU&t=325 if there is some new solution for fully rotated pockets, or simply better way to do it :)

[@JITCADCAM]

Thank you for the topic ill add it to my list

[@AlphaEngineer2022]

Great video mate! very informative 🙂

[@JITCADCAM]

Glad you liked it!
