3. New Workholdings
Workholding Library
The Workholding library lets you add a workholding equipment (vise, table, tombstone, etc.) to a manufacturing model. Those can be found in the "CAM Samples" project folder that you can find in the Autodesk Fusion data panel:
The following 42 MiteeBite components have been added to the Workholding library:
Concentric OD Clamps\
37100, 32700
Dyna-Force Clamps\
28322, 28328, 28320
Heavy Duty Versa Grip\
32170, 33170
Locating Pins and Liners\
52000, 45070, 51000
Manual Actuator\
34602, 34604, 34606, 34608, 34610, 34612, 38602, 38604, 38606, 38608, 38610, 38612
Modular In-Line Clamping System\
41125, 41135, 41225, 41226, 41227
Modular XYZ Xpansion Pins\
31630, 31640, 31650, 31660, 31670, 38630, 38640, 38650, 38660, 38670

4. Improved Workholdings
Updated several mitee-bite grip files.
5. Improved Tool Libraries
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.
Update the static holder library for Haas tooling.
6. 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!
