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.

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 implementations made to post processors already in the library.
Milling Post Processors
AXYZ, Brother, Brother Speedio, Brother Speedio M140X2
These post processors now retract the tool to the clearance plane after each drilling location using G98.
Beamicon2, Bridgeport, Bridgeport DX-32, KinetiC-NC, Kosy, MAXNC, MultiCam ISO, MyDIYCNC, NUM, Selca, Stepcraft WinPC-NC, Tecno CNC router
These post processors now retract the tool to the clearance plane after each drilling location.
CAMaster, ShopSabre, Techno CNC System
Add ability to output separate XY and Z feed rates at the start of a toolpath for machines using a WinCNC control.
DMG Mori NHX, Meldas, Micro Dynamics Mega 30VT, Mitsubishi, ShopSabre IS-M
Fixed the shift direction in the G76 fine and back boring cycles.
Brother Speedio, Brother Speedio M140
Fixing the description of the use Pitch for tapping property in the brother post processors.
Allow non numerical program names in the fidia post processor.
Fixed missing G0 output for prepositioning move in the Okuma post processor.
Rotated Work Offsets and TCP are no longer output in the same operation.
Turn and Mill-turn Post Processors
Mazak Integrex i-100, Mazak Integrex i-100S, Mazak Integrex i-200, Mazak Integrex i-200S, Mazak Integrex i-300, Mazak Integrex i-300S, Mazak Integrex i-400, Mazak Integrex i-400S
- Corrected the B-axis output between operations in the Mazak Integrex post processors.
- Cancel the transformation from the previous operation at the start of an operation.
Additive Post Processors
Added support for the PartPro300xT to the XYZPrinting post processor.
Milling and Waterjet/Laser/Plasma Post Processors
Added support for the CNC Plasma Drill and Vibratory Plate Marking Scribe features in the ShopSabre Plasma post processor.
Intermediate Post Processors
Add output of MOVEMENT_FINISH_CUTTING movement type to the dumper 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.
You will have available configuration files for some of the leading machine manufacturers:
In addition, we have completed the Haas library. This is a summary of all the available Haas machines:
The easiest way to get started, is to copy an existing configuration that matches some of the characteristics of your machine.
