DATRON Dynamics Employee Wins AUTODESK CAM Challenge

DATRON Dynamics Application Technician, Adrian Montero won the Autodesk Fusion 360 CAM Challenge in the Category of Best Surface Finish. His part was machined on the DATRON neo, compact high-speed milling machine.

Appropriately named the AUTODESK Fusion 360 CAM Challenge, participants were asked to produce a Fusion logo made into a key chain. Autodesk supplied all participants with the same file in their software. There were only 3 requirements to the CAM Challenge:

  • Use Autodesk Fusion 360 to program
  • Take a photo of yourself programming the part
  • Supply a photo of the final end product
