Intro to CNC - 101

A virtual intro to CNC machining.

Description

Please reach out to technology.center.shop.classes@autodesk.com to schedule a training.

This machine agnostic training is a deep dive into the CAM setup and technical aspects of CNC machining. The course is delivered over Zoom by CNC experts at each site, and is intended to be taken as a prerequisite to all on-machine CNC trainings at any of the North American Tech Centers. Students will explore Fusion 360 tool pathing strategies, techniques, and applications in great detail, learn some basic machining theory, and go through setting up and programming a part in CAM software with a focus on:

File set-up
Stock set-up
Toolpath Strategies
Post processing

The pathway to access specific CNC machines after this training varies slightly at each site. Please reach out to technology.center.shop.classes@autodesk.com to schedule a training.

Toronto Pathway

San Francisco Pathway

Boston Pathway

*Please note: Site specific safety trainings (Global Workshop Safety Training followed by Onsite Workshop Orientation & Fire extinguisher Training) must be taken before any machine specific trainings at the technology centers, but they can be taken before or after CNC 101.
