Lesson:: Practice 1

The document provides instructions for a practice lesson to create facing and contour toolpaths in a CAD/CAM software. The instructions guide the user to open a part file, create a facing toolpath with a face mill tool, create a contour toolpath around the base of the part with a flat endmill using roughing passes and multiple depths, create another contour for a small recess with the same tool but without roughing or stepdowns, and simulate and save the toolpaths.

Lesson: Practice 1

Practice: Create facing and contour toolpaths.

• Create a facing toolpath.


• Create a contour toolpath.
• Simulate toolpaths.

1. Upload and open the file “Fixture Plate – PE”.

2. Navigate to the Manufacture Workspace and


note the file contains a setup.

3. Create a 2D > Face toolpath using the 2in face
mill tool from the sample’s library.

NOTE: Because face mill automatically uses the stock


definition you can select a tool and OK the operation or
you can modify it’s parameters.

4. Create a 2D Contour toolpath around the base


of the part with a ½” flat endmill. Explore using
Roughing Passes and Multiple Depths from the
“Passes” tab.

5. Create a 2D Contour around the small recess
using the same tool, but without any roughing
or multiple stepdown settings.

6. Simulate the toolpaths for verification.

7. Save the file.
