We setup our project in fusion 360 before we use the mill
Fusion 360 helps students and educators prepare for the future of design. It's the first 3D CAD, CAM, and CAE tool of its kind, connecting your entire product development process into one cloud-based platform. Download the software today, then turn your ideas into reality.
If I could make anything in the mill I would probably design my own light saber hilt.
It would look something like that.
