RhinoCAM® Student Training Videos from MSU

Bill-Clinton-Thumbnail_2Montana native Bill Clinton teaches Design Build classes and is also the director of Fabrication Shop at the School of Architecture at MSU (Montana State University). The RhinoCAM® machining software is available to every student on site-wide CampusCAM annual licensing. To help his student get familiar with RhinoCAM® Bill has put together a number of student training videos. Bill has agreed to share them with you here.

Part 1

Bill shows his students how to create a simple Box Stock for a part that consists of a 3D contoured surface using RhinoCAM®. In the following videos Bill shows them how to create 3 axis Roughing and Finishing toolpaths and how to generate the G-Code file that will control the CAMMaster CNC machine.

Part 2

Bill shows how easy it is to create a 3 axis Horizontal Roughing operation on a part that consists of a 3D contoured surface using RhinoCAM®. In Horizontal Roughing; cutting is performed in XY planes at successive Z depth levels.  This also referred to as Roughing in Levels.

Part 3

Bill continues to on the previous two videos by showing students how to create a 3 Axis Parallel Finishing toolpath on a part that consists of a 3D contoured surface using RhinoCAM®. In Parallel Finishing the toolpath is projected onto the 3D model in parallel planes perpendicular to the XY plane.

Part 4

Bill shows his students how to create a G-code file from the 3 axis toolpaths created in the previous 3 videos using RhinoCAM®. This post file is then sent to the CAMMaster CNC machine to instruct it how to cut the part.
