Fusion
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.
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. New Post Processors
Milling Post Processors
Added the Avid CNC post processor and the machine definitions.
2. 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.
Milling Post Processors
Updated Handibot post to use shared content across post processors.
Updated Opticut post to use shared content across post processors.
Updated the probe rapid feedrates for probing variables in the Tormach post processor.
Mill-Turn Post Processors
Fixed missing program unit codes in the Mill/Turn post processors.
Intermediate Post Processors
The CIMCO post processor will no longer output the tool name as "undefined" when posted in a language other than English.
3. New Machines
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
You will have available configuration files for some of the leading machine manufacturers:
The following configuration files do not contain any 3D model, but have all the settings required to optimize your postprocessor for these specific machines:
EX rotary along X, EX rotary along Y
MILL E 500 U, MILL E 700 U, MILL P 800 U,
The easiest way to get started, is to copy an existing configuration that matches some of the characteristics of your machine.

7. 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!
