Slopes in CCPro

Can I create slopes in CC? Have bought Fusion file and trying to recreate in CCpro as still not 100% confident with manufacturing section 360.

See slope here. Can I recreate in CCpro? Would start at 4mm and go down 12.61mm.
Cant share fusion file, but happy sharing CC file if needed. Again as paid for Fusion file :slight_smile:

Probably the easiest thing to do would be to export an STL from Fusion 360, then import that into Carbide Create Pro.

That said, if you post a link to your .f3d file, I’m sure some folks here can guide you through the CAM setup.

That said, doing slopes in Carbide Create Pro requires either over-modeling the slope:

Or, one can create a greyscale height/depth map:

and there are some graphics specific to this:

What is the height, width & angle of the slope? Or share the CC file & the heights (assume as mentioned above).

Can definitely be done in CC Pro. How you plan to cut it may influence how you model it.

Did your purchase include redistribution rights?

This what you’re shooting for?

This required some math

I created this ractangle to define the slope. Top of outer edge is at bottom edge of slope, bottom is at least 10.985*2. I went 34+. I created an angle 48.94°, Limit Height: 15, Base Height 7.39

Then I created this shape as flat, height: 7.39 just for the tool to have somewhere to land.

Now the tricky part. I wanted to cut with the same 1/4" end mill, so I want to cut up/down the slope rather than across it. Since 3D path boundaries have an “On” condition, i.e. the center of the cutter stops on the boundary, with the radius of the cutter exceeding it.
The area I want to cut is then this rectangle. 1/8" offset inward on the left, right, and front. 1/8" outward offset on the top/back.

Now when I create the 3D Finish path, it behaves as I expect, and looks like the above pic.

Hope that all makes sense! :wink:
