Fusion360

Fusion360 is a widely used 3D CAD/CAM program from Autodesk. It is free for personal use. And there are numerous online instructional videos to find out about its operation.  

For the CAM part of Fusion360, you need our post processor.

What is a Post Processor?

A post-processor is a type of translation file for the CAM software. It specifies which codes apply to which commands, so that the CAM software can translate its language into the language of the respective machine.  

An example: The Mach3 controller on our machines uses code M3 to switch on the torch. The Post Processor then describes M3 as that specific code. The CAM software then knows to enter code M3 when the torch needs to be switched on. If this is M6 on another machine, it will be listed as M6 in the Post Processor. So, the post processor is specific to our machines.    

Download the file from our site and place it in the NC program as follows:

Go to the NC Program in Fusion360.

In the screen that opens, you can select the post processor you downloaded.
