First Tool Path

[Alex Fraser]

I've been trying to learn 3D CAD/CAM using the free hobbyist version of 
Fusion 360. It took a while to figure out how to create the 3D part and 
a good bit longer how to generate a tool path to cut a circular pocket 
in that part. This is a video of the software simulating a cut. I'm 
tickled pink....

CAD (Computer Aided Design)
Cam (Computer Aided manufacturing)
CAD/CAM means the computer figures out how to move the cutting tool so 
you can make the part with a CNC machine tool (Computer Numerical Control).

I used my phone to video the screen as I ran the simulation.  The part 
is hanging off the edge of the table, dumb robot....
