Activity 2.3.4 CAM Strategy Practice Part 1



Activity 2.3.4 CAM Strategy Practice Part 1IntroductionIn this activity you will develop knowledge and skills related to CAM operation, setup and basic strategies. You use a CAD model to develop CAM strategies, and then verify the strategy and remark using CNC Motion software.Equipment Computer with the software below installedAutodesk? Inventor? softwareInventor HSM ProCNCMotionEngineering notebookProcedureDownload and then unzip the student models to a convenient location.Follow the teacher instruction to prepare to observe a demonstration of or watch the series of instructional videosApply CAM strategies to the parts below which align with each of the demonstrations or videos.Verify the proper orientation and origin of the part models.Identify the model features that will be machined.Select the appropriate machining operations and strategy for each feature.Determine correct parameters for each machining operation.
