Can I create a tool path to a CNC router?

Hello,

There is a CNC router that I have shared photos of, it works on 5 axes, the toolpath was previously removed in master CAM, I wonder if I can work using fusion CAM capabilities and in a way that has the appropriate mail, thank you for your help and support, this is the first time I have encountered such a situation.

you just need the proper post processor and probably a commercial license for using tool orientation and multi axis toolpaths.

Hello, so I can create appropriate tool paths using Fusion CAM capabilities? Thanks for your support, good work, is there a video or webinar I can review?

there is no shortage of Youtube videos showing you how to program in fusions CAM environment.

The maker of the machine has youtube tutorials for Fusion.

Thank you for your support, but I wanted to ask for help on which training video I could understand and which would be the best training video, so I wrote, thank you for your support.

If you had simply Googled "5axismaker fusion" you would have found this playlist of Fusion tutorials specific to the machine:

Thank you very much for your support, but what is important for me is whether there is a suitable post for this machine, is there a post suitable for this machine I shared in the post library of Fusion? If there is no suitable post, there will be no point in making the team path, thank you for your support.

Go look in the post library and find out.

You are right, you are right, it may seem easy for a knowledgeable user like you, but it is a very difficult situation for a novice who does not know which name to look for in the library, I can choose the wrong post that is good at its job or I may not find it when it exists, so I needed to get support in the forum, I apologize if I caused inconvenience.

I'm extremely confident that you haven't even tried, because it's the first one in the list has the same name as the machine.

To be honest, yes, I didn't try it, I thought it would be more efficient with the guidance of the forum, maybe because it was the first machine on the list, I was really pleased that it was the first machine on the list, and since the machine was a router, it seemed like a better solution to ask.

So, you said something you'd never tried was a "very difficult situation".

 

Do you also say you don't like food you've never tasted, and ask other people what it tastes like rather than just trying a bit?

Do you say cities you've never visited are ugly and boring?

 

You won't prosper with this attitude. How do you think anything in life came into being? Someone had a go, at some point.

Also, if you go to a library, you know that the majority of the value is to browse the shelves, not look for a specific book you already know exists.

Hello, I have such a machine and I want to create tool paths in Fusion CAM on this machine and I found a video that I shared the link on youtube and I wanted to consult you to find out if I am on the right track, your help, advice and guidance about this situation is important to me, but it is very valuable to me, is the post of this machine also available in the library or which one should I proceed with, thank you.

Gabriel hello thank you for your help, but the topics are different, but if you see it appropriate, there is no problem, the important thing is that it is solved, well, your thoughts and help on this subject would make me very happy, since I am a little unfamiliar with some issues, the guidance of knowledgeable people like you is really important for me.

Hi @EmreYucel34 

 

It is worth distinguishing several issues:

  1. Toolpath selection and setup occur within the context of the part, not the machine. Of course, this must take into account the machine's capabilities and other circumstances (tool type and size, mounting method, etc.).
  2. Machining strategies are simply pre-designed toolpaths with specific properties and dedicated to specific geometry types. There's no such thing as the overall best strategy (especially since Fusion has dozens of them, each with its own purpose and purpose). Each is designed for a different type of geometry and the sets of path strategies are selected based on the product geometry.
  3. If you need help selecting a strategy, you'll need to provide us with information about the part (preferably in the form of an F3D file).
  4. If you want to learn how to choose optimal paths, you simply need to study the subject - read the manual or watch YouTube tutorials. There's no single, best tutorial, as each one shows something different, and as I mentioned, you have dozens of options at your disposal, plus additional tools. You can ask for clarification on a specific topic, starategies or problem here, but we can't rewrite the instructions for you - you just have to dedicate your time to that.
  5. The choice of postprocessor depends directly on the machine's control system. You need to understand what system it is and what type of postprocessor it requires. We can't guess. You can read the machine's manual, check the vendor's website, or consult the manufacturer/supplier. Once you know which postprocessor to use, you can download it from the library shown by the previous speakers. It may happen (though it is extremely unlikely) that you will not find such a post-processor - in which case you can order one to be created commercially from an authorized distribution center in your country.

 

To sum up - learning takes time and commitment; to help you, we need information about the details; and you have to look for information about the post-processor from the supplier.
