Great video. I would love to see more videos on which toolpath to choose, I have an older Haas mill so finding the most efficient smallest toolpath is my number 1 concern.
Great content & really well presented. Tim's geek tips video's rock!! Would love to see some content on creating your own CAM setup template for individual machines with known fixtures already mounted on the machine bed or table. Look forward to the next one 👍👍
Loved the video, thank you for making it. One nerd tip is rather than right clicking the tool path and mousing up to edit you can just double click the tool path and the edit screen will appear. It’s a little quicker but it definitely took me awhile to break my old habit of right clicking though.
Yep. That's a good tip. I've got two things breaking my brain with that... 1: I started using HSMWorks before that was an option and 2: When I did finally convert to be a double clicker... I started teaching workshops and webinars and had countless people not pick up that I was double clicking into an operation. So I converted back. Now I struggle to break myself of right clicking LOL
Details matter and the more that you can add to your toolbox of knowledge the better! We just posted another deep dive on Steep and Shallow if you want to get into the nitty gritty details on 3D finishing.
Go into CAM Samples and get the part and replicate the parameters. You'll have to suppress the outside chamfer to replicate the waterfall toolpath as bad as I have it.
Awesome tips Tim! My nerd tip is to use the silhouette option for stock contours and outer profiles. I have it set up as default for most operations and it saves me a ton of time instead of picking geometry.
@@ToolpathTim greatful you did! Contour selection is one of this things that Fusion does really well once you learn it but can be a bit arcane to learn.
Awesome video. Would love a dedicated Steep and Shallow crash course. Maybe in both 3 and 5 axis? Show us some of those fancy simultaneous 5 moves for finishing?
I think you just won the "Whats next" suggestion. What do you win? The next video LOL I think I'll have to break it down from 3 to 5 x in two different videos. They each have enough goodness to stand alone. I'm hoping to cut the blabbering down well below 40 minutes. 😕
Awsome video, I downloaded the model, and followed along. Awsome info in this. I'm looking forward to some more of these. Templates or steep and shallow, perhaps? Thank you, Tim and the toolpath team👊🎅
@@ToolpathTim OD/ID threadmilling tips, what boxes you click normally for finishing; such as repeat finishing or multiple finishing steps. Your tips on drill and tap depths were helpful. Best way to cut large modeled chamfers in a corner. Hard to explain but this has been giving me problems lately with the way the customer modeled it. Thanks
Great video, lots of useful things ;) I would like to ask if the 3D model is available anywhere? and what computer do you work on so that everything works smoothly?
Thanks for the feedback! Yes the model is available in CAM samples. It's an old model I used to teach a workshop when I was at Adsk. I show it early in the video. Data panel/Cam Samples/Tutorials/Contact Point Boundary I'm working on a MAC Book Pro with a Space Mouse and I've tuned the Axes direction to work the way my brain works so I have to flip in/out with up/down.

Thank you very much. These are very useful tips. Please continue.

Very well done, Tim. Anyone looking to up their Fusion Cam game owes it to themselves to watch this video. More like this? Absolutely! Thanks again.
Thanks buddy!

Yeah that's a nice tip! Sometimes I do that and then double click the wrong part and it tries to rename my toolpath haha Thanks for watching!!

Fantastic video. Hits on so many small things that add up to big improvements.

Great video! I'll watch it again and take notes. I've struggled with a lot of the things you're covering. Thanks!

That's a great idea!
That's a good one. I have it as my default but turned it off so I could show the selection manager...
@@ToolpathTim greatful you did! Contour selection is one of this things that Fusion does really well once you learn it but can be a bit arcane to learn.
Thank you Tim, great video quality and good audio, great content! Keep it going.
Careful! I've got more tricks up my sleeve. More to come...
Tim has quite a bit more up in his noggin. Stay tuned for more!
There is a name I recognize. ;-)

We are looking to do a deep dive on 3D toolpaths in the future. We will make sure to cover this! Thanks for the suggestion

Awesome! But I like all the blabbering I learn so much hahaha

Thank you EJ! We will make sure to add those topics to the list of things to geek out on!!
I think there is a good refresh of what I did a long time ago EJ with defaults, expressions and templates to add productivity.
Nice video! I picked up a few nuggets. Subscribed!
Thanks for the sub!
Sweet!!! That's always my hope! 1-2 geek nuggets makes most videos worth the time I stole from you. 🙂
great video, thank you!
Glad you liked it!
What should be next?
Appreciate it. Definitely more please.
You got it!!
What should be next Ryan?

thanks a lot for your answer ;) I will definitely test it all :)@@ToolpathTim
awsome and very well exsplained. supscrided
Thank you for the sub!! Let us know what you want to see next!
