Cut Config Basics: Set up your FIRST Cut Config

Creating a simple Cut Config is the quickest way to start using your tools, cutting parameters, and machining constraints in Toolpath

 

Please see the video above to see how to build your first Cut Config! We've included some tips and tricks below:

  • No Fusion tool library? No worries. Start quickly by exporting copies of document libraries on parts you've programmed before, or copy/paste tools from the Fusion vendor libraries. 
  • Why start small? To build Cut Configs that capture your approach to tool selection, you'll need to apply presets to tools to define tool eligibility. Starting with a small selection of tools you use frequently will help Toolpath start programming like you, and builds a solid foundation to build upon as more tools are added. See How to Manage & Apply Tool Presets and Understanding Tool Selection to dig deeper and add tool libraries as you find results to refine.
  • Use recommendation libraries. You're starting with a small set of tools for control and quick setup. Enabling recommendation libraries will show how Toolpath finds solutions for features requiring more specialized tooling. Learn more about Tool Recommendations here. 
  • Edit presets on the fly. Don't want to sit down and capture presets for all your tools, materials, and cutting roles? Edit them in the Strategy page as you upload and review parts:
