This week you need to determine how long it will take to make your part. The total time can be broken
down into several categories. Some, such as machining time, can and should be very predictable from the
software simulation. Others, such as preparing the blanks, can have large variation. For this assignment,
please to the following:
Create Tool Paths
Generate CAM/tool paths for your part. Include enough detail such that you can reasonably estimate the
cycle time. E.g. include roughing, finish, and drilling cycles as necessary. Don't be overly concerned with
flaws in the cycles. Use appropriate feeds and speeds.
