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.

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.
Datron Next, Datron Next Inspect Surface
- Preload tool is no longer output for the probe sensor tool.
- Added option to override smoothing value per operation by using string 'smooth' at the end of operation name, ie 'smooth0.01'.
- Fixed originZShift value for Probe WCS.
- Suction codes are no longer output when the probe tool is used.
Haas Inspect Surface, Haas Next Generation Inspect Surface
Added Part Alignment Capability value for Live Connection in the Haas post processors.

Haas CL-1, Haas DS-30Y, Haas DS-30SSY, Haas ST-10, Haas ST-15, Haas ST-20, Haas ST-25, Haas ST-28, Haas ST-30, Haas ST-35, Haas ST-40, Haas ST-45, Haas ST-55, Haas ST-10L, Haas ST-15L, Haas ST-20L, Haas ST-25L, Haas ST-28L, Haas ST-30L, Haas ST-35L, Haas ST-40L, Haas ST-45L, Haas ST-10Y, Haas ST-15Y, Haas ST-20Y, Haas ST-25Y, Haas ST-28Y, Haas ST-30Y, Haas ST-35Y, Haas ST-10LY, Haas ST-15LY, Haas ST-20LY, Haas ST-25LY, Haas ST-28LY, Haas ST-30LY, Haas ST-35LY, Haas ST-20SS, Haas ST-20SSY, Haas ST-30SS, Haas ST-30SSY, Haas Turning
Fixed missing sequence number output in all Haas millturn post processors.
Additive Post Processors
Added a range to the properties Temperature Start and Interval used in the temperature tower functionality.
Fixed the message for unsupported unit, and converted the header dimensions, location, length to the correct unit in the FFF post processors.
Added new post processor to support Fracktal Works printers.
Ultimaker, Ultimaker 3, Ultimaker S5
Added missing material guid definition to the Ultimaker post processors.
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:
SPEEDIO M200Xd1, SPEEDIO F600X1
SPEEDIO M300X3, SPEEDIO H550Xd1
SPEEDIO W1000Xd2, SPEEDIO R650Xd1
SPEEDIO S700Xd1, SPEEDIO S300Xd1
The easiest way to get started, is to copy an existing configuration that matches some of the characteristics of your machine.
4. Improved Machines
5. Improved Print Settings
You can find the print settings required to optimize your postprocessor for these specific machines:
Added Material list for EOS SLS Print Settings.
Updated Prusa SL1 and SL1S Print Settings.
6. New Workholdings
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 data panel:
38 Base Plates
44 Components
6 Tombstones
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.
ISCAR – Holemaking Metric, ISCAR – Holemaking Imperial
ISCAR's solid carbide drills. This library of solid carbide drills contains the full assortment of ISCAR'S solid carbide drilling solutions for application in all material types.
The range of metric drills offered covers from 0.8mm thru 20mm.
The range of inch drills offered covers from .032in thru .750in.
They both include common length to diameter (L×D) ratios of 3xD thru 8xD, as well as extreme length solid carbide drilling solutions that cover common length to diameter ratios of up to 50x.
8. Tool Library Add-ins
The Tool Library now contains the link to the tooling add-ins available in the Autodesk Fusion App-store.
9. 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!
