About course

In this course, we'll cover how to create a mill-turn program in ENCY, from start to finish. This program will include operations such as drilling, single-point threading, multiple spindle management, 2D contouring and more.

As you'll discover, ENCY's workflow makes potentially complex parts easy and intuitive to work with.

6 lessons to go

  1. 1Creating a Turning ProjectSet up the turning environment by importing the tooltable and part model in ENCY. Define the workpiece dimensions and position relative to the chuck, ensuring proper orientation and offsets. Configure the chuck jaws to fit the workpiece, preparing for subsequent machining operations.Video lesson
  2. 2Facing, OD Roughing, and GroovingSet up lathe operations including facing, OD grooving, and roughing to prepare a workpiece for threading. Adjust cycle parameters for optimal material removal and simulate each operation to ensure accuracy. Finalize with a relief groove to facilitate subsequent machining tasks.Video lesson
  3. 3Threading, Hole MachiningExternal threading and drilling operations are demonstrated for a lathe part. The process includes setting up OD threading with specific pitch parameters and selecting appropriate tools for drilling, including a 10mm drill and a 20mm cylindrical mill. Techniques for chip removal and toolpath generation are also covered to ensure effective machining results.Video lesson
  4. 4Creating a New Setup Stage for Machining the Opposite Side of the PartDefine spindle takeovers and setup stages for machining operations, including workpiece positioning and connector adjustments. Execute lathe operations such as facing, grooving, and outer diameter roughing, ensuring correct tool selection and machining parameters. Finalize the project by generating and simulating toolpaths, preparing for G-code export.Video lesson
  5. 5Finalizing Setup and Simulation of the Machining ProcessConduct G-code simulation and post-processing to generate and export G-code files. Select the appropriate post-processor and interpreter, then review the G-code for accuracy before finalizing the job. This process ensures efficient program output for machining operations.Video lesson
