How to use Solid Bodies as Custom Stock

Use Custom Stock for greater control over stock sizing, pre-profiled, or cast stock!

 

Stock from Solid can be used through two methods:

  1. Uploading a multi-body step file and selecting the stock body in Toolpath.
  2. Sending existing setups with a stock body from Fusion via the Toolpath add-in.

Uploading Custom Stock to Toolpath

  1. Upload a multi-body file to Toolpath
  2. In the Overview tab, select the stock. This can be done by setting the Stock Mode and Body or through the kebab menu on the stock body:
    stock mode
    stock body
  3. Select the orange Regenerate button to regenerate the part with the selected stock.

Using Custom Stock from Fusion

Toolpath will use Stock from Solid in when sending a part with existing setups to Toolpath. The solid body should be selected as the Stock in the first setup, and subsequent setups should use the "From preceding setups" option.

  1. Create a Fusion document with the Part and Stock positioned appropriately.
  2. Ensure the first setup uses Stock from solid.
  3. Ensure subsequent setups use From Preceding Setup mode:
    from preceding setup
  4. Use the Send Part to Toolpath button with Use Existing Setups. Check only the setups you'd like to include:
    send to toolpath
  5. Select OK to send the part to Toolpath. This will upload the part to Toolpath using your pre-defined stock and setup orientations and open the part in a new web browser window
