Added support for tool call operations to the DN Solutions (Doosan) millturn post processor.
3. New Machines
Machine Library
The Machine Library lets you manage your machine tools by using Machine Configurations to define your available machines and resources. These configurations can automate the settings in your Job Setup. There are many Machine Configurations available in the standard library.
Milling Machines
The following configuration files do not contain any 3D model, but have all the settings required to optimize your postprocessor for these specific machines:
Milltronics VM2515, Milltronics VM3018,
Milltronics VM4020, Milltronics VM5020
Additive Machines
4. Improved Machines
Additive Machines
MPRINT(Standard Module), MPRINT(Extended Module),
MPRINT(Round Build Standard), MPRINT(Round Build Extended),
MPRINT(Lab Module), MPRINTpro(Lab Module),
MPRINTpro(Standard Module), MPRINTpro(Extended Module),
MPRINTpro(Round Build Standard), MPRINTpro(Round Build Extended)
5. Improved Print Settings
One Click Metal MPRINTPro Sample parameter 20 micrometer
6. New Machine Components
The Optional Machine Components library enables the addition of optional machine components to a manufacturing model. Those can be found in the "CAM Samples" project folder that you can find in the Autodesk Fusion data panel:
2 Brother rotaries:
T-200A Left hand, T200A Right hand
7. Tools and Tool Holders
The Tool Library lets you manage tools for Milling, Turning, Cutting (waterjet, laser & plasma), Touch Probes and Holders. The Tool Library lets you manage libraries of predefined tools and project documents.
Innovation is what drives us. Actively searching for fresh solutions to new technical and manufacturing challenges that enable our customers to improve productivity, accuracy, and performance by relying on M.A.Ford® to deliver. Our extensive range of tooling and ‘Integrated Manufacturing Solutions’ has developed and evolved to become a virtual byword for precision and performance. The principles of high precision and high quality extend beyond our tooling and are present in every aspect of M.A.Ford Europe to ensure customer demands are consistently met at all levels.
Some fixes have been made to Helical Specialty profiles, SwiftCARB, and Valor holemaking libraries. These modifications address minor issues and enhance overall library performance to better support user needs.
8. Post Processor Ideas
To make our library more varied and complete, we are always working on new post processors. Some of them still need more testing before being released in the public library. Every new Beta post processor is announced in the Idea Station, you can find all of them in the Post Processor Idea Station.
Please note that if you choose to use one of these post processors, you assume all inherent risk in using it and we ask that you proceed with caution.
That being said, we are looking forward to get your feedback!
