Fusion 360 features

[Anonymous]

I am currently using Master Cam but thinking about using Fusion 360 in addition to MC.  What I am trying to figure out is this:  Does Fusion 360 have a lathe option?   Are there basic post processors available?  Are they free or purchased?  Is there an option to create custom post processors?

Thanks

Well, for starters, Fusion 360 is a free download and you have full functionality for 30 days.

1) Yes, there is lathe. Not high end or best (no turning canned cycles (except thread), but it's a work in progress and it's in use daily by people in the community

2) Yes, the software comes with 40+ basic post processors. Modification is relatively easy for most options and program formats.

3) See #2

Perfect!! Exactly what I need to know. I want to get the most out of the
30 day trial so now that I know that it will do what I need, I can install
it and get my feet wet before purchasing.
Thanks!
