There are a couple of ways of doing this. The first is to simply program one instance of the part and call it out three times on your machine, hand modifying the fixture ID each time. You could even just throw together a simple subroutine by hand. This method is definitely the easiest method, but will not allow you to minimize tool changes between each of the three instances.

 

To output a single program that cuts all three, and minimizes tool changes, do the following:

  1. Import the desired part model(s) and fixture model.
  2. Use the transform tool to position the three part models as desired on the fixture model.
  3. Right-click the fixture model, and set it as a clamp (ensure that clamp avoidance is turned on in your machining attributes).
  4. Use the combine solids function in the solid wizard to perform a union between the three part models, and then select that newly combined single solid as the stock solid in the stock properties. This is the critical step in this process. 
  5. Program the part as desired. 
  6. Ensure that the operations are ordered as desired. 
  7. Post Code
  8. ??????
  9. $$$$$

 

This is a rather advanced task. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you need any help.
