Course 4 - Haas and Autodesk Fusion - Machined Part Finishing and Inspection
In this course, you create a new setup to machine the brake caliper held in soft jaws, machine all stock and finish the brake caliper, simulate all toolpaths, create documentation and NC program, load and verify a CNC program, machine a brake caliper, and inspect a final part.
After completing this course, you’ll be able to:
- Create a CAM setup.
- Create toolpaths to finish machine a part.
- Use Simulation to validate toolpaths.
- Create documentation and G-code.
- Set up and machine a caliper in soft jaws.
- Inspect a final part.

Course modules
Discover what you'll learn in this course and download the software and resources you need.
Learn to create a new setup in an existing program using a new vise model with soft jaws. You create a program to finish machine OP2 of a part and validate stock removal with simulation. You create all required documentation and g-code, load and verify a program in machine control, machine a part and perform a final inspection.
Learn to use toolpaths to finish various areas of the caliper reviewing in-process stock and tool changes for efficiency.
Learn how to use simulation to validate stock removal from a single setup as well as multiple setups to ensure all stock has been removed. Learn to review machine simulation and create final documentation and output g-code to finish machine a part.
Learn to set up soft jaws on a machine, set up the WCS location and verify all tools. You learn how to load a program, proof, and run a part.
Learn how to perform an inspection on a machined part to verify accuracy to the blueprint and surface quality and completeness. You will learn how to set up inspection in Fusion and manually enter inspection values to ensure they are within spec. You will also learn how to set up a Probe Geometry cycle that can validate feature size and spec during the machining process.
Now that you've completed the learning material in this course, you can take the challenge exercise to measure your skills on the topics covered in this course.

Instructor guide
Teach this course in the classroom. We've summarized the core Fusion skills in this course so you can familiarize yourself before delivering this content in the classroom. Download the instructor guide as a teaching resource, and work through the course and modules yourself to prepare for classroom, delivery. Additionally, download resources like software files, drawings, exercises, lectures, and more found throughout the course.
Machining best practices
Machining best practices supports you in the CNC machining of the model engine rod soft jaw. Review the process plan and cutting data for general guidelines to support you in this project. The sample setup sheet provides information about how the part was machined. Post machining, inspect your part while reviewing the supplied detailed drawing, and populate the inspection report to verify acceptable part tolerances. The machining best practices includes a process plan, cutting data, setup sheet, and inspection reports.
Lectures
Lecture slides serve as supplementary resources, encompassing instructor lectures, handouts, and quiz materials, specifically designed to offer additional support and reinforce course topics.
Fusion step-by-step guides and slides
Step-by-step print guides are available for your students as accompanying instruction to the Autodesk Fusion video instruction. Step-by-step guides are also available as presentation slides to support classroom instruction.
