Intro to the Manufacturing Workspace
New to CAM? This series walks you through the Fusion 360 Manufacturing workspace from the ground up — where everything lives, how it's organized, and how to think about setting up a part before you ever touch a toolpath.
Intro to CAM: covers preparing the model for manufacturing
Modeling the Stock and Soft Jaw creation for setup 1 and 2
Setup for a CNC milling machine.
5-Axis Milling
Put all five axes to work. These videos cover the full span from getting your trunnion dialed in to running complex multi-axis toolpaths — including geometry that simply can't be reached any other way.
Are ya runnin' a Trunnion? This is everything you need to get setup and even start programming. We skip the pleasantries and get to the point.
Can you 5 Axis Mill a Mesh. Absolutely! Check out the process in this video.
Probing
From finding your WCS to closing the loop on cutter compensation — this series covers probing as a complete workflow, not just a setup step. Learn to use the probe before the cut, during the run, and as a quality control tool.
An Introduction to using the Probing Operations in Fusion 360.
Part ll of Probing for Fusion 360. Focusing on using Probing for Setup-1 and Setup-2
This is the final part of the Probing series (for now) Probing Castings and irregular geometry for Production and Quality Control purposes.
Projects
Two complete builds, start to finish. One starts with a GrabCAD model and a 3D-printed fixture. The other starts with a scan. Both end with a trophy that had to look good enough to hand to somebody.
Manual Milling
The mechanical foundation that makes CNC make sense. These tutorials were built in 3D Studio Max to animate what's hard to see on a real machine — how the cutter actually behaves, why it matters, and what goes wrong when you ignore it.
3D Printing
Not print settings and filament reviews — these go deeper. Two topics that most channels skip: how you model the part affects how strong it prints, and what sequential printing actually buys you — and what it can cost you.
Reverse Engineering & Meshes
Two approaches to working from a scan. Sometimes you convert the mesh directly to CAD — sometimes you use it as a reference and model from scratch on top of it. These videos cover both workflows and when to use which.
