Is Fushion 360 the right software for me?

[Anonymous]

Hello, I'm just wondering if anyone can give me some advice or point me in the right direction for software to use.

I work for a company that is interested in carving "wave" designs into wooden door panels on our CNC (we have a uni-master 7226 - 300). I was going to use ArtCAM but that apparently isn't supported anymore. 

I was just wondering if Fusion 360 would be right for this or if there's a more suitable software for doing this.

Also does anyone know if out CNC is compatible with is software?

Thanks!

Mike.

If you can share an image of what that wave pattern wold look like that would probably help 😉

Of course Fusion 360 is the best software you can use for your use. It has lot of features you can use at the same ime it have CAM as well as 3D printing also, so ultimately you can go with that too after CNC. 

And yes Fusion 360 is compatible with CNC work.

@Anonymous Have you seen what ArtCAM can do? Autodesk don't really have a replacement for it, not really sure there is any software that is as good for what it did. 

Take a look at some of the images here.

If you have software that can create good closed meshes of the reliefs like in the images above then Fusion can machine them and customising a post processor to produce code for @Anonymous's control should not be a problem.

@Anonymous I wonder how you can make that assessment without having seen the work the OP want's to do.

i don't think Fusion is the replacement for ArtCAM, but if you want to learn how to 3D Model in fusion, maybe 3D Print, and also you can use that file for CAM, Fusion can do the work, but depend how complex will be the design is something that only you can answer if this software work for you.

Hi Mike,

I think you can do a lot in the sculpt area of ​​F 360.

But Applications, that have been made for your case are Aspire and V-Carve from "VECTRIC".

I milled such panels with V-Carve and a plugin from Paul Rowntree.

We're looking to do stuff like this. (these were done on artCAM)

Is this a legal offer?

Why a Gmail address rather than .com?

I simply requested information from you.  Nothing more.

[chrisplyler]

He did NOT say that having the knowledge and the desire to share it is illegal.

He asked you if the result of implementing your instructions is legal?

You have not answered.

AD does not still support the product. But they DO still own it and all rights to it that they have not licensed to others.

Is this a legal offer that does not violate any EULA or Copyright?

Hint: This is a binary Yes/No question.

You can't possibly not understand that you appear to be trading in stolen material.    Why else the "contact me elsewhere for details"- if it was above board, you would be transparent here, no?

[TheCADWhisperer]

That does not answer my simple Yes/No question?

Here is a more complex question. 

Can you Attach or link to the EULA and any relevant Copyright notices if they exist?

"Mainly" -not "entirely"?    Are you offering a version that features subversion of security measures?

[TrippyLighting]

It is not fair, but that is absolutely irrelevant!

If you are soliciting distribution of a software or method to modify a software to circumvent a dongle or other security feature the likelihood is that you might be acting in good faith but still in disagreement with the law.

Thus repeatedly posting this publicly on an Autodesk Forum might not be the smartest thing.

Laws are Things

If you can't  answer my Yes/No question, can you provide a link to the EULA so that I can make an informed decision?

Just doing due diligence here.  If you can't provide the information - I suspect that a bit of research on my part will reveal the needed information.

[chrisplyler]

It is certainly possible that your intentions are only helpful.

But it is also possible that you may be promoting others to act illegally.

Your offer immediately provokes suspicion.

If you can provide verifiable backup that the suspicion is unfounded, we will all shut up and praise you for your kind offer of help.

If you can NOT do that, then we will remain suspicious.

Is that too complex of a situation for you to understand?

Hi All,

For the benefit of the community members who've contributed to this topic, Delcam developed and sold the ArtCAM 2015 R2 product range and Delcam software licensing utilizes a USB security-protection dongle and PAF Licence file (*.paf). If interested, you can read Delcam's Software Licence & Terms of Supply here.

Autodesk acquired Delcam and all the company's assets on February 6, 2014. Any attempt to circumvent the software licensing used in Delcam products, which are now the property of Autodesk, would be illegal. I do not recommend that you engage with anybody attempting to trade in unlicensed software, and I encourage you to report anybody who is doing so.

Thanks in advance for your time and cooperation.

Kind regards,
