i have spent many hours on my project and failing to understand how my extrudes in the design phase relates to cuts in the manufacture phase. In my design i wish to use a pieces of mdf 12.3mm thick and completely cut out the design and outline certain other items in my sketch at different depths

Hi @Anonymous,

 

What you are looking for is Nesting.

As a Expert Elite I’ve this already in my Fusion 360 for testing. I don’t know when this is availible for the end users. 

 

If you haven’t it at the moment you have to do it manually.

Can you post a picture of the object you are trying to make (Please don't attach pictures? There is an option Photos on the editor toolbar to embed them, please use this option) and the fusion model To attach a file Go to File -> Export and save as a .F3D Archive File and attach it to your next post, if you can not post the file you can PM it to me or say in your next post you can not post the file and one of the Guys that do NDA work will help.

It is basically the fundamentals of using a CNC machine you are missing, it will help you a lot if you have a look through this stuff https://f360ap.autodesk.com/courses

 

I will have a look at the part a bit more and do some suggestions and give you a demo file.

@Anonymous If you go through the link I posted it will answer your questions.

 

With your model using the sketch as the toolpath is something you do not need to do you use features on the part, if you look at the example I have selected the bottom edge of the pockets for the toolpath basically if it is a pocket you select the pocket toolpath ever 2D or 3D.

The engrave toolpath you can use a sketch or the part this toolpath is fine just the truck door will not be done very well because the sketch is above the part in that area, one thing you can do is lift the bottom hight up a little bit so it does not cut too deep or use the traces toolpath.

 

To cut the part out of the material you use the 2D contour toolpath and you select the bottom edge.

 

Example attached ask any question you have.
