Please help if you can..
I am trying to select a file type that can be read or translated into/by Mastercam. I have sent a .igs and .stp . I have been told they can see the object but they cannot use the surfaces to create a wireframe for machining. Also, there is not a wireframe in my original object creation.
What can I do to the original file (my object) or with my output file selection to rectify this issue? Is it possible?
Thanks much.
I jumped in; can't swim. Trying to learn quickly!
I saved a simple Fusion part as a .stp file and opened it in Mastercam X7 this morning without any trouble. Wireframe was there and I could create toolpaths. Like you, I've jumped in and I'm trying to swim too! I have made no changes to Fusion. What I'm running is right "out of the box". I take it you are importing other solid models into Mastercam without problems?
Tim,
Can you send me the .STEP and .IGES files you sent to the machine shop along with the original .F3D file? Email to andrew.sears@autodesk.com.
Thanks,
Andy
Hi Tim,
Thanks for asking. Not sure if you know that Fusion 360 now has CAM functions as well? If you click the Tools button of a Fusion 360 file, you can see there is a Create Toolpath command in its context menu. After clicking it, you can import the Fusion file into a CAM document and there are some good CAM functions you can try.
Another CAM entry is when you are in the Fusion 360 modeling environment, you can click the Create Toolpath from design button in the command line:
Hope you have a nice experience with Fusion CAM functions. Any questions please just let us know. Thanks.
