Multi-Axis CNC Toolpaths at Coursera Course details
- Computer Numerical Controlled machines, or CNC for short, can have a nearly endless number of options. Most machines today control tool motion in 3-axes, X, Y and Z, but can be upgraded to include a 4th or 5th axis as well, A and B. Additionally, there are many machines on the market that are already 5-axis capable. The good news is that Autodesk® Fusion 360? has you covered if you need to control multi-axis positioning or simultaneous motion in all 5 axes at once!
- 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. Sharing your Autodesk Credential can signal to hiring managers that you?ve got the right skills for the job and you?re up on the latest industry trends like generative design.
