The Fixed-axis and Multi-axis Milling course is designed for NC/CNC programmers who want to learn how to create fixed and variable axis tool paths in NX for simple or complex multi-axis operations. Students learn how to select geometry in an ordered sequence to mill wall and floor geometry sequentially. In addition to high-speed machining methods, students also learn how to create associative copies of parts in an assembly and modify those parts to reflect design changes to the part.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
- Manufacturing engineers
- Process planners
- CAD/CAM managers
- Multi-axis NC/CNC programmers
- Users of 3, 4 and 5-axis machines for milling complex prismatic and contour type parts are encouraged to attend
PREREQUISITES
