Creating Toolpaths for a CNC Lathe at Coursera Course details
- CNC machines come in an almost endless array of configurations for various applications. So far, we have only talked about CNC Mills. More specifically vertical milling centers. In this course we turn our attention to the CNC Lathe. We identify the difference in a lathe?s coordinate system, tools, and how to create lathe specific toolpaths.
- Want to take your learning to the next level? Complete the Autodesk CAD/CAM for Manufacturing Specialization, and you?ll unlock an additional Autodesk Credential as further recognition of your success! The Autodesk Credential comes with a digital badge and certificate, which you can add to your resume and share on social media platforms like LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter.
