Fusion 360 CAM w/ Eric (Tormach Part 1)

In this class you will learn how to use the "Manufacture" portion of Fusion 360 to create toolpaths that you can use to make stuff on the Tormach as well as the CNC Router. Note: we do not go over modeling in Fusion 360 just how to create the toolpaths that can be exported for use on the CNC machines. Review the syllabus for more details on the class.

Note does not replace regular CNC router class part 1

Pre-Requisites- NONE

Requirements for Class:

1.Laptop with fusion 360 downloaded

Note: free version okay but if you are regular CNC user would recommend paid for version

2.General Idea of fusion 360 layout

3. 3d model of part you would be interested in making
