Second Operation (CAM and Machining) of Titan-10M

Hello,
First off, let me say I have enjoyed using the Titan Building Blocks to improve my knowledge of Fusion 360. I have completed drawing and programming all of the series, with the exception of the Titan 10M. I have programmed the Top, using the knowledge that I have gained so far, but I am unsure if the operations that I have used are correct (simulation looks good, but still unsure of the operations that create the taper on the top surface), could videos be posted showing the programming and machining of the top of the Titan-10M?
Thanks,
Steven

Hi Steven. If it’s of any use, here’s an A360 link to my Titan 10M model & CAM :

I’ve modelled my set-up so that the 1st op (left vise) is the bottom of the part and 2nd op (right vise) is the tapered top (Note that first four operation of 2nd Op are ā€˜stock prep’ to make the model conform to how it would be on the machine, ignore collision warnings for these). I made a best-guess at tool types and toolpath options.

The second op on the 10M has caused a lot of trial and error on my part… ( mostly error ) :slight_smile:
Tim my tool path strategy is similar to yours… The secret to the second op lies in using
ā€œpatchā€. So that your parallel tool path will not dip down into holes and give you that Titan finish…
It will also help with the earlier adaptive tool paths… here are a couple of links to two short videos on how to patch…
Worked like a charm…

Patch Part One

Patch Part 2

Here is a link to my tool paths for the 10M

Any constructive comments are always welcome…

Also my project is being machined on a Tormach… So the tool paths are not as aggressive as the larger machines…

Hope this helps…

Hello,

I think this part would benefit from an additional operation, otherwise I would start on top first.

Please see How-To posted by Stephen. Model taken from Tim. Surfacing inspired by John.
