FusionCAM Coaster Project

​Learn to program FusionCAM! This workshop will walk students through the process of completing our coaster project. We provide you with a CAD file, and coach you through the process of importing files, defining tools, defining toolpaths, simulating operations, exporting G-Code, and all the steps necessary to prepare a file capable of manufacturing the coaster on our CNC mill.

​IMPORTANT: Successful completion of this project is a requirement for any students who plan to operate our CNC mills.
