I love the size of the Shapeoko 3 XXL however sometimes I need to go even bigger.
Luckily, as long as the piece is smaller in width than the x-axis you can keep sliding it back along the y axis and divide the design to be cut into multiple sections. For basic stuff this has been working out great and I made a sweet shelf this way.
However, now that I am learning to use Fusion 360 more for the CAD and CAM I am curious how to do this with that software?
First off, am I using the right search terms? Is this called something more fitting than “multi section cuts”?
Anyways, I am curious if there is an established way to do this? Ideally I would like to do this in the manufacture workspace as I can imagine some hacky ways to do it in the design workspace but I’d rather do it properly.
To do tiling in Fusion 360, I create a sketch with slightly overlapping rectangles that represent the size of the cut area. You’ll create a new setup, with a new origin, for each rectangle and use the rectangles to define your machining boundary. Then use whatever registrations make sense for the job (pins, fence, etc)
