This course will examine the fundamentals of a basic 3-axis setup using Delcam PowerMILL. We will start by learning how to set up a part within stock, and then we will use area clearance toolpaths to rough the part. We will then discuss various finishing strategies, moving from a semi-finish to a true finish, and we will follow up with detailing toolpaths, such as auto cornering and pencil cuts. Finally, we will use workplanes and interactive stock models to set up a second position, commonly known as a 'flip mill,' before analyzing our toolpaths for gouging and collisions and then simulating our numerical control programs.

3 Axis Milling modules are built on the core fundamentals of: Feature-based machining - Reduces programming time by as much as 90% compared to other traditional 3 axis CAM software. Knowledge-based machining - Allows you to capture and reuse the best practices for various operations. With the 3 to 5 axis toolpath conversion capability in NX CAM you can easily machine molds and dies with deep cavities. NX analyzes the toolpath and it automatically tilts the tool to avoid holder collisions. This 5-axis milling method enables you to use shorter tools to reduce vibration and tool deflection.
