Fusion 360 Meetup @ PS1 - Wednesday, August 17, 2016 ... and a topic of interest to CNC folk: HSM

[Ray Doeksen]

We're on with a good strong group of RSVPs for the next Fusion 360 Meetup .... but if you found the surfacing from the last meetup not what you needed to learn right now, or if it is going too fast (or too slow) for you, let me know .

I'm just at the end of watching a Fusion 360 online webinar right this second on GoToWebinar where an AutoDesk pro is teaching 2D CAM functionality ... https://global.gotowebinar.com/join/7123409657618868993/500611224

If you miss this webinar, and yep it's over now ... there are plenty of these, that cover the basics, CNC/CAM and all the topics you would expect. 

I'm attaching the PDF guide to high speed machining ... 

If you need any help with the more essential Fusion 360 stuff, I can orient you before or after the Wednesday meetup, too. If you want to get a handle on some of the basics of sketches, extrudes, cuts, revolves, and managing "bodies" etc. just show up a bit early or stay a bit later, and we can do some one-on-one. I've been working on things ranging from the very simple (cabinet handles for 3D printing) to medium-level solid parts (an apparatus I'm making for a scientist to study bird behavior) to CAM challenges (the CubeSat that Ryan mentioned in a previous meeting.)
