Post Processor and Machine Simulation What’s New
Looking for the latest post processors and machines updates? Look no further!
We are continually working
hard to bring you updates and improvements to the many open-source Post Processors and Machines we offer for free, but those updates often get lost in the shuffle of other enhancements or big feature releases. This post aims to update you on newly added or improved post processors and machines, so you can stay up to date on what you use today or look for news so you can get the most out of Fusion 360.
This post will get refreshed with notable updates as they’re released, and you can click each hyperlink to go to the mentioned post. As always, you can find the latest in our post processor offering on the Online Post Library where you can search by vendor, type, or name, and see any recent changes to each post processor.

1. Improved Post Processors
We are always working to keep post processors up to date with new technologies. This is a summary of the main improvements made to post processors already in the library.
Generic Post Processors
- Fixed potentially missing output of the tool length compensation command when using TWP prepositoning.
- Multiple minor updates to generic post processors using shared code content.
- Optimized comment output in multiple generic post processors.
- Fix probing DPRNT issue with decimal points.
- Fixed potentially missing output of tilted workplane reset when no machine configuration is used.
- Optimized parametric feedrate feature to support transition feedrates.
- Updated generic post processors to make use of the new createOutputVariable function.

2. 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.
You will have available configuration files for some of the leading machine manufacturers:
3. Improved Machines
Updated Tool position and Part position in the Denford 2600 machines.
Updated rotary axis names in all Mazak machine configuration files.
4. Documentation
Added bookmarks into the post processor training guide PDF file:
5. 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.
Featuring Valor Holemaking High Performance Drills and complementary holemaking solutions, this tool library includes American-made products that are meticulously tested and fine-tuned to deliver outstanding hole accuracy and repeatability, exceptional surface finish, amazing tool life and performance, and impressive cost-per-hole results. Included in this library: High Performance Drills for Aluminum & Aluminum Alloys from 1.587 mm to 12.700 mm in diameter, High Performance Drills for Steels from 1.587 mm to 12.700 mm in diameter, All Valor Holemaking products updated as of July 2023.
6. Improved Workholding
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 Fusion 360 data panel:
Some existing files have been reviewed and updated:
- 12 Mate DynaLock Bases
- 16 DynaMount Mounts
- 4 Mate Accessories
- 9 Profilo vices
