Good video. You might already know this, but if you have a blue tooth caliper or mic, you can just click the transmit button and keep moving. Works great. We can't use it though. To many steps to add SN of tool to each measurement. We are an AS9100D company and our automated inspection sheet is just faster. I have to admit though, Fusions inspection form is way better looking than ours. Easier to read and understand as well. I have reached out to Fusion design team and asked them to be able to put a database of tool (insp tools) with serial numbers you can just select and have it populate the tool and SN which is required for AS. No response at all from them. :(
Awesome! Thanks for the info! All of those things sound awesome. I just type the serial number for my measuring tools in the comments box. A fusion inspection tool library would be amazing!
Thank you for the info didn't know fusion could do that. But being a programmer with guys on the floor, boss wouldnt want set-up guys to come in the office and stop me from programming so that they can measure their part and input the data. Its a good idea to add in the process if fusion creates a piece of software or .exe that can be used separately from the main fusion file.
This method doesn't make sense unless you have a computer right next to your machine and/or inspection station. Otherwise you are definitely better off with a spreadsheet or something.
It might be if you sat down with a completed part, and just did a drag race. The benefits for me come from the process side. I set up my inspections when I program the part, and then when I'm running it, I can measure the Op1 dimensions while it's still on the machine, type those into fusion, and move on. You could do that in Excel too, but then you are swapping back and forth between it and fusion. If you are running 10 different parts for the job, then you have to keep track of which file belongs to which part, and it just gets complicated and annoying to manage. This method lets me keep everything in one place, right there with the CAM files. I don't need to manage a parallel file system on my computer with the inspection reports, they just live in fusion.
@@AudacityMicromakes tottal sense, only thing I might add is though get used to keeping all there documents, PO, Travelers, part file, any customer supplied documents, and inspection report in a dedicated matrix on your network and a redundant location. There not as picky about it to move up to premium but for ultra premium they audit your records for there parts
@@Daniel-vq9zbI would argue the redundant location could be your CAD system. OnShape allows the importing of those documents and you can share those files for auditing. I wish OnShape had these (Fusion360) in depth options for creating inspection forms, it's one extra step I could shorten. That's just my thinking. I know every QC process is different. Cheers.
It's possible! With my old machine I need about $100 on cables and adapters. I'm 100% doing it, but haven't had time yet! It's much easier on modern Haas's
Would you want Fusion to have an checkbox (someplace) in the design process to automatically populate default inspection entries? (This is kind of a rhetorical question from me. I watch youtube creators using Fusion and there seems (to me) to be a lot of duplicative steps.)
I wish it was tied to the drawings somehow. I would love to be able to make a drawing, and have it automatically import the dimensions back into CAM, or visa-versa. The cam inspections show up on the drawing.
Great Video I Did Not Know this was Available in Fusion 360.
I will use this instead of handwriting it Thank you.

ok I was not expecting that! I had no idea it could do that. Really like this approach. Thanks
It's worked really well for me!
Needed this, problem solved. THANKYOU :)
Very nice to know! Thank you for sharing!
Fantastic content! Thanks for sharing
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed!

awesome information. Thanks!
This is pretty cool but looks a little slower than just using there basic excel sheet with some built-in logic

That is good to know, thank you! That is not something I had heard before. I will work on that!

This is very nice, Good to know.
Thanks!
Thanks for the tip! I had no idea Fusion 360 did this. What metrology tools do you have for measuring surface finishes?
Right now I only have one of those visual comparison references. I don't have a way of doing it more quantifiably
I have 20 of the same part. Xometry requires 5 inspections of the 20. Whats the best workflow for that? Thank you
I would be nice to use the probe with this.

helpful video. but you have a face best suited for voiceover. so, please, in the future...
Lol, I bet you are a blast at parties
