Hello,

Is there any way I can do this 3d chamfer on this part?

Thank you.

I’m unable to open your file within Fusion 360.
But looking at your picture, a scallop toolpath will do the job I think.
you have to use a ball end mill.

I tried Blend in one operation, Fusion gets confused, goes into retard mode, processing tool path that never gets processed.

I ended up duplicating tool path and selecting next segment along the path until all were done.

So, if you select too many segments and tool path doesn't get generated within 1 second, you have to simplify it to fewer segments and sometimes to only one segment.

Scallop works too but I don't like the way tool jumps around.

Looks like a great application for a 5-axis machine & tool path. Or modify the design to make it more manufacturable😉

Since we don't have 5 axis machine, this is best way to machine this part 🙂

Thank you. I had to search how to enable blend toolpath and somehow i managed to make this in one operation 🙂

If you run more than one part, some refinement could be done to speed things up, for instance adjusting step over amount and heights for particular segments to keep tool from jumping up and down between passes.

As for 5 axis, I'd like to see the sample file just for kicks because I have no experience in that area, ...... anybody?

Operantly I missed something in my attempt to do it in one shot.
