First time posting here. I have the chance to work with a student from the local votech program in my area and his teacher has a programming back ground with next to no Cnc experience. I have had the chance thus far to introduce him to the academy and after watching some of his time lapse videos I was able to explain the importance of selecting the best tooling for a job and dynamic tool paths vs. Standard milling paths(used videos to help explain). What are some other key topics I should touch on…i have tomorrow and all of next week to work with him.
At what level do you think the student has reached?
Is he just designing and running Fusion360 tutorials (building blocks)
Has he been able to machine a part, set work offsets, set tool offsets?
Important to understand work coordinate positioning, Cartesian coordinates, understanding Z part zero.
The academy videos are great, but he really needs some hands on on the CNC machine to come full circle
He has run parts of his own…done his own drawings and run parts. He is a senior in high school. I haven’t been able to time a set up right for him to be there ad he had classes in the afternoon. Hopefully tomorrow we can work with z offsets and any x y tooling wear off sets
