Both the Z and X axes can be flipped 180 degrees. Select Z axis/plane & X axis - Select a face or an edge to define the Z axis and another face or edge to define the X axis.Model orientation - Uses the coordinate system (WCS) of the current part for the tool orientation.Setup WCS orientation - Uses the workpiece coordinate system (WCS) of the current setup for the tool orientation.Orientation drop-down menu provides the following options to set the orientation of the X, Y, and Z triad axes: Keep an eye on the blog for updates on the guitar.Specifies how the tool orientation is determined using a combination of triad orientation and origin options. Note that the video does not address clamping (although I mention some thoughts towards the end) and I should go back and edit some of the machining operations to set the coolant to “Disabled”, as we are cutting wood on a desktop CNC. I’ve chosen a 10mm flat end mill for the facing operation, my thoughts being that on a desktop CNC, there would not be a huge array of tools and I don’t expect to have access to a face mill. I am hoping to also machine a body, and in preparation of AU London, I have put together a 10 minute video showing my setup in Autodesk Inventor HSM, or Inventor CAM as it is now called. The initial design starts with a PDF, which is imported into AutoCAD, this geometry is then used In Inventor to shape the body of the guitar, check out the blog post here:īelow is a picture of the initial test fit of all the parts (finishing of the body still to be done), and then some progress pictures of the body being shaped. For the Class, I have already built the guitar, sculpting the body with hand tools. As part of my AU London class this year, I am building an electric guitar using the Autodesk Product Design and Manufacturing Collection.
