CAM Confluence Pages

The ideal scenario for the team is that those who design their parts also create the CAM for their parts, as the best judge of whether or not a manufacturing related change will affect the design intent of the part, is the designer themselves. To that effect, I created 10+ Confluence Pages detailed CNC mill and lathe toolpaths, going into great detail on each specific topic. I essentially made what I wish I had when I started out learning CAM, so newer members can be onboarded quickly.

The topics of the pages include: getting start at the Bechtel Center and Fusion 360, basic milling, lathe, workholding, 5-axis machining, and more. Many of them include detailed photos and GIFs of each toolpath, to get a better visual understanding of what it all means. The pages were recognized by the BIDC staff and are being implemented into their own website for all members on Purdue's campus.
