InventorCAM - Creating a Setup Sheet

By Simon Taylor

Once you have created all your toolpaths, you can create a setup sheet. This will contain some of the following information: -

• Stock Size (Material Size)
• Model Size
• Number of Operations
• Number of Tools Used
• Tool Information (Size, Length, Maximum Z Length, No of Flutes, Feeds and Speeds)
• Operation Information
• Picture preview of component showing part datum and operation toolpaths

This is a quick/accurate method for giving setter/operator part information.

In order to create a setup sheet we need to do a couple of things:-

• Click on the setup item in feature tree (Highlighted with red box below): -
• Click on Setup Sheet on Cam Menu (Highlighted in black box below): -

Once this has been done, the software will ask where the file needs to be saved (I would put it in the same folder as model/CNC G-Code). This will then create a Setup sheet for that machine setup.

We have also created a video showing how to create a Setup Sheet in InventorCAM.
