Materials in CAM posts and setupsheets

Materials in CAM posts and setupsheets

I work with lots of different materials. I love that Fusion allows you to assign material types to models but why doesn't this carry over to he cam features?

 

First off it's useful to see in your setup sheet what type of material is needed as well as in the post file. Not just the stock size. I have used the dump post and seen that there is no variabel related to stock material.   

 

Also not all materials are machined with the same speeds and feeds. It would be awesome if the preset machining operations anticipated your speeds and feeds based on the material type and previous instances that material has been machined with this tool. I realize that's a lot to ask for but maybe something to consider in the future. 

 

Past that I love what has been done so far. Keep the great features coming.

Aha!  I was looking for a way to set presets for things like "multiple depth" settings based on the tool chosen.  But basing it on the material is probably even smarter!

A feature for having multiple feeds/speeds for a tool exist "well" hidden under Cam.Featureflags. Use with caution since its obviously in beta mode and makes other things not working properly
