FAIL-First Attempt At Learning

[Anonymous]

Hi, Thanks for reading this.. I'm trying to learn Fusion360. I picked a phone case as a project and had a start. Im stuck trying to generate a tool path and thought maybe its because my model is so bad? I have attached the file and would appreciate any comments/ suggestions/ advice.

Thanks heaps!

I'd recommend starting here: https://help.autodesk.com/view/fusion360/ENU/?query=manufacturing

The first step in Manufacturing is to create a Setup.  Once  you have a Setup, you can create toolpaths.

Copy that, thanks. Ill have a look.

I think I messed up the setup or maybe my design is bad. When I try to select the geometry to mill out the center pocket of my case I eat the whole case with the bit.

Ive got the surfacing operation, 1 pocket for the camera (minus the fillets) then I just skipped to the final cut out (minus any tabs) which I also can't find how to do yet.

Attached below is my progress in the manufacturing workspace.

Thanks for any help.

@Anonymous - your model (in the Design workspace) looks fine.  Timeline is all healthy, features look reasonable, geometry looks good, I did not see any problems.  I'm not a CAM guy, so I can't help with your toolpaths.  But, you might want to post your CAM query here:  fusion-360-manufacture - you will get lots of help there from knowledgeable people.
