The first thing we add ourselves are the screw holes marks so we can screw the material in place. These don't have to get drilled through the entire material.
For the outer cut. create a seperate toolpath and make sure the cutting depth is the height of the material. Don't forget to add tabs.

For the outer cut. create a seperate toolpath and make sure the cutting depth is the height of the material. Don't forget to add tabs. When adding tabs make sure you have enough. The longer your cuts are the more tabs you will need.

Create design. Make it the height of you material
When you're done you need to go to manufacture tab and then in manage.
In there you need to select the machine. Make sure to select the right milling tool.

After that you can select how big the project is and how big the material is.
You wanna set the origin/zero point at the bottom corners of the model. After you've done that you can press ok.
Then you can select the top buttons under the 2D tab. To create toolpaths.
When you create one of the toolpaths you will get a lot of settings to configure the toolpaths
The toolpaths you create will show in the left menu.
Under actions you can export the gcode
You can also configure your own milling bits in fusion if yours isn't pre-configured.
## Testing the machine
We ran some tests on snap fit, conventional or climb milling and we varied with the feed and rpm. We did 2 of the 3 tests wrong the first time. With the Rpm and the feed tests we cut against the grain of the wood.

#### Problems with generating toolpaths
First when trying to create toolpaths I tried using fusions Adaptive clearing. But that method removes all the material. After watching a video about wood CAM on youtube I found out what tools and buttons I needed to press.

When trying to generate toolpaths for 3D. I saw that with the `3D contours` I couldn't automatically generate tabs. Only the `2D Contours` could do that. I also asked chatgpt for help on how to do it. And it said to make my own tabs.

A lot of issues because of the tabs and using the wrong cut settings. The other problem I was also having is using the wrong cut method. I was using a post processing cut method to clean things up while I should've used one that is made to remove a lot of material and cuts instead of toolpaths that make smooth edges.

#### Fixing the issues
I solved the problems with the simulations by creating 2 seperate toolpaths for the outside cut with tabs and the 3d cut for the curved cut. I was scared that the 2D cut would remove the fillet but then I realized a day later in the tram that it only did the outer bottom cut and that the curves still needed to be cut. So I first needed a 2D cut with tabs and then a 3D cut for the filet and then my toolpaths would be complete. Last night I didn't realize that and added tabs by hand.
