Machining an Epoxy-Filled Aluminum Sign in Fusion 360 with "Automatic" CAM!

[@FriedrichKegel]

Explaining the tesselation related to CAM just explains everything about Fusion, thanks so much :)

[@hotfuzz1913]

AGREED awesome tip

[@CrashingCarbide]

Great video guys! It really shows how capable a small machine is.

If you want to remove the tool path tracks from under the epoxy from being seen use an opaque epoxy dye rather than dark transparent dye and this would have been perfect, personally i think the black needs it. Great work guys!

I love this! This process is SO underrated for efficiency purposes but it's also great for training purposes. A couple years ago I had people very impressed with my 9th grade students programming and machining their own parts in my intro class but it was Fusion30 and this method that made it all possible. I gave them design constraints that fit the part I had already camed and they re-associate tool paths and send it.

This is great! I’m a HS technology teacher and this will streamline the process of sign making when the students use our cnc router. Thanks for sharing!

AWESOME!

Good video guys still waiting on my video on the slant pro

[@bijeshj]

Thank you very informative. Is the dust boot connected to a standard dust collector OR shopvac? and is it ok for aluminum chips?

[@Marlfox570]

As someone who programs using PowerMILL it's weird to see that many of the new fusion360 features are just old PowerMILL features that that been copied into fusion. Things like NC Programs, flat strategy, steep and shallow, etc... In PowerMILL they have a great macro language that allowed me to create a macro that roughs, finishes straight walls and flats (and limited steep and shallow path) - drill, ream, tap, and counterbore holes for multiple sides of a part. I was wondering if fusion has anything similar to automate processes to that level?

Great video! This mindset geared at process reliability can be such a force multiplier!

[@piccilos]

I really enjoy the project videos, thank you for the good content.

[@chevyshea]

Do you think the epoxy will hold up outside with temperature changes? I have been wanting to the same type of thing for my shop sign, but figured different coefficient of expansions would cause the epoxy to flake off.

0:50 I know that’s my day today man usually cycle start… ok sounds good on to be productive

[@cmdrcrimbo]

Hate to tell you now after you made the part but you spelled works wrong Lol

[@Trancelebration]

Whats the point of using adaptive here and wasting all good alu ?

[@ikbendusan]

4:10 what if radial stock to leave is 0 hmmmmmm???????

[@prodesign8189]

Great stuff as usual John. Hope you and yours are doing great!

[@nyccnc]

thanks!

[@fusionsvt00]

Very similar to Alphacams "styles". Alphacam can program a part just as you do all automatically. 1 click cnc program

[@MakeTechPtyLtd]

I sense a Porsche upgrade happening

[@kimber1958]

Thanks

[@JackFilmTube]

First

[@ER-zv1nr]

Is everything ok ?

[@vintageludwig]

Looks like he got pepper sprayed. Or a good shot of coolant to the eyes.

[@alanparker1952]

@@vintageludwig He always looks like that🤷‍♂

[@Diskus79]

Which CNC machine do you use for this project ??
