Now with our part completely programed, we're ready to send this toolpath to the machine.
00:14
As you may remember from the FeatureCAM Standard class, simulations generate NC Code in FeatureCAM.
00:21
So while we were running our final 3D simulation, the NC Code needed for our Okuma machine was generated and posted into the NC Code window.
00:33
Here, I can review the NC Code generated, make any necessary revisions.
00:39
And once I'm happy with the code, I can save the NC Code to a directory of my choosing.
00:46
In the Save NC window, simply select the directory you'd like to save to, name your file, and indicate what you would like to send to this directory.
00:57
We have a lot of different options, but again, the only thing we really need here to machine our part is the NC program.
01:03
With that selected, my directory indicated, and my file named, I can select "OK", and now we're ready to machine our part.
01:14
This concludes our first lesson in the FeatureCAM Premium milling class.
01:19
Before moving on to the next lesson, I strongly recommend that you go back through and try to program this part on your own without the help of these videos or the text.
01:30
As you're reprogramming this part, also feel free to explore some of the different options in FeatureCAM.
01:35
Take a look at the different finishing strategies, roughing strategies, and the parameters associated with each.
