hi folks some really awesome new features in fusion 000 that have come out over the past few months number one by far the best and most used for us simulation now has a remaining stock mode the default colorization setting is operation so when you're done the different colors represent different cam operations switch that mode to comparison and now subject to your tolerance the default is seven thousand seven inch green means you've machined it within that tolerance relative to your solid model now make sure the turn off or toggle off the light bulb for your model so that you can truly see where there's blue remaining stock or red which means you've either Gauss or remove too much material I change this tolerance down to say two thousand seven inch you'll see some red now the red on those inside flanges was intentional I have negative stock to leave to have these parts fit these are actually some of the parts we did for the project egress card to that video here but the blue is remnants from my surfacing tool pass again here I'm okay with that but this is a great way to catch the host cam mistakes where did I forget to remove material what have I not finished another one of the project egress parts was a pretty complicated positional five access part where there were just so many cam operator that it was really hard to tell what I finished machining and what was left to do again comparison is your friend I can see I've got some corner picks to do or material to clean out and some nooks and crannies second best thing under drilling hole recognition you don't see it there there's a new thing called extensions which you can click on to get access to that feature it's kind of like templates if you've seen we're big fans of saving different templates for different machines and different materials but this is even better because it's talking to both the CAD a side of fusion and it's smart enough to look at your existing tool library so on a part like this it's actually a lathe sample under cam samples if I wanted to machine this on a live to a lay there are a fourth axis or fifth axis right now I don't have to click each one of these holes and set the tool orientation or I can create a pattern which absolutely worked but this is going to be better drilling hole recognition and the reason it only finds one hole is that by default it only looks for holes that are aligned with our z axis but if we head into options if I uncheck hide holes not aligned with this setup it will give me every hole in this part and what's amazing as it's recognizing each hole in this part and it's proposing a solution of what to do there's a lot of customizations that you can do to this it's actually looking at your tool library to find an acceptable tool it's assuming that this hole needs spot drilled then drilled you can adjust that as you see fit for an override and if you click OK it's going to create all of the cam for those the spot the drill the tool orientation for each one so it's gonna make cam enough complicated parts a lot easier or think of a five axis part where say you have 000 holes and each one is on slightly different plane this will take care of all of that for you it's also intelligent so if we go back to design create thread and let's say I turn this into a quarter twenty thread click OK drilling hole recognition it recognizes that that hole is a quarter twenty tap is automatically going to pull in the correct spot the correct drill and the correct tap from the tool libraries that I have listed as acceptable to use here so your programming is done also in the new extensions options are some really cool probing features the idea is you're going to be able to turn your CNC machine into a CMM or a type of inspection machine under probing inspect surfaces pick a piece of geometry and let's here we need to flip that orientation there we go so we can say I want you to measure that point subject to an upper and lower tolerance and tell me if it passes or not this is gonna make it super easy to use your Renishaw to check for diameter so check feature diameters in the machine so you can come back and do additional machining if you need to or just add to overall process reliability whether you're doing this at the machine or whether you're running unattended any metrology guru will quickly slap you on the wrists and tell you you cannot measure a part on the same machine that it was made on and there is absolutely truth to that machines do wear down they do have error in everything from linear rails to ball screws to Gibbs and measuring with the same machine it was machined on is a feedback loop that will not give you true metrology level accuracy however there's still a lot to be gained and a lot of relative accuracy or checks that can be done here on tool pascam settings tool deflections and easily checking and making better parts we now have section analysis in cam really excited for it this is another part we made for project egress if we do construct midplane we can construct a plane right in the middle of our part click OK and then when we're in the manufacturing workspace go to inspect section analysis expand our model tree construction pick that plane it now sections out that part we turn our analysis light bulb on and off to toggle that mode and on this part it's really helpful because we used a 0d contour along with a Harvey lollipop end mill and having a section analysis turned on let's just look at that tool path the way you really want to look at it which is understand how is it contacting those walls how is it moving down through the part the undercut on this part was for a universal joint that we 0d printed on the mark Forge worked great on more complicated parts like this guy section analysis can be really helpful analysis I'll just pick a face I can drag that face back to expose that pocket and now what I'm doing say a 0d contour or a boring operation or some sort of detail and cleanup I can get a really good clean view of an internal feature that otherwise is really difficult to see previously I would use ctrl 0 to switch into a different mode like wireframe to try to get a better view of what was happening with that tool path but that view often was still complicated and noisy and no substitute for a good section analysis next up you can now choose to see the tool path points without going into simulation so this is a good example on this scalloped tool path I click on simulate I can choose show and we now see each individual toolpath point where it's really helpful to see the points at all time is I can duplicate this and I'll edit my second scallop and I'll change my tolerance let's say I tighten that up and I'll add some smoothing on here of one Dow and I can now compare the point distribution of those two toolpaths much more quickly without having to hop in to simulation speaking of all of the preferences that you might have in your cam settings and in operations and tolerances and so forth you can't back those up or even share them so the infamous right-click make default reset default etc you can now control that by going to manage export or import your cam defaults you now have much better control over the order of drilling operations which I absolutely love in this example for our fixture plate we program the tap where we just select one hole and then we use the select same diameter the prior default used to be optimized order now maybe this was optimized to a computer but it never looked optimized to me but in the real world things happened tools break you may need to hit stop pause or reset and by controlling the order of this tool path it's a much more logical flow in this case we're able to go up one row back down the other happens to also be in my opinion very optimized for what we're trying to do but most importantly if I decide halfway through this I want to change the tap I can now much more easily go manually reselect or use a sketch containment boundary to pick the remaining holes in that operation and if you're wondering why we break this tap section down into multiple sections it's because our taps do have a finite life and the way our 'has automatic tool management works is it doesn't trip the alarm for a tool having exceeded the number of holes until the cam operation is finished so let's say your tap could only do 0,000 holes well if they had done nineteen hundred and ninety holes it only had ten left and you started this plate it's going to do all the holes you told it to and then when it's done it's gonna check and say oh by the way the tool is now expired or run out of its useful life two last noteworthy additions 0d steep and shallow I've heard really good things about this but it's really exciting for two reasons number one is that steep and shallow is effectively a form of combining two different tool paths one that's designed for really gentle surfaces and the other that's designed for really steep walls so you now have the ability to use one operation to control all the settings and parameters on a part that may have varying types of geometry and it's one step closer to kind of that perfect or ultimate tool path the other reason that it's more exciting is it represents I believe one of the first times the Autodesk has brought in a tool path from some of the other software made by other companies that they've acquired over the time and many of those cam packages that hunter just now owns are incredibly powerful top-notch very high-end cam systems with some amazing tool paths so seeing those start to trickle into fusion 000 is awesome for those of you that are looking to learn more about fusion 000 or CNC machining we offer hands-on classes here in Zanesville Ohio and we're also excited to announce that we have released our first online class a fusion 000 comprehensive CAD course click here for more information and to sign up as always hope you learned something hope you enjoyed take care see you soon
