## Week 2 - The Whole Meatball
|
||||
|
||||
This week we go through the entire workflow for creating a CNC automation.
|
||||
|
||||
### Running An Automation
|
||||
|
||||
To begin the lesson, we start off by getting familiar with using a Gcode sender application to control a CNC machine. This lesson includes:
|
||||
|
||||
* how to set up the machine
|
||||
* mounting materials
|
||||
* calibrating the machine
|
||||
* loading gcode files
|
||||
* activating and monitoring the machine
|
||||
|
||||
Following this, students will have a good idea of what can and can not be done at the gcode sending software, and can proceed to learning how the automation file was created.
|
||||
|
||||
### Creating an Automation
|
||||
|
||||
In the second part of the lesson, students will get familiar with using a CAD/CAM application. They will create their first parametric model using design tools, then learn to create automation using CAM tools.
|
||||
|
||||
Concepts covered include:
|
||||
|
||||
* Why CAD software is used
|
||||
* Workbenches
|
||||
* Relational modelling
|
||||
* Constraints
|
||||
* Alias and the Spreadsheet
|
||||
* Cam Workbench
|
||||
* Job setup
|
||||
* CAM operations
|
||||
* Tool bit programming
|
||||
* Post-processing and generation of Gcode
