September 2023 Post Processor and Machine Simulation What's New

Post Processor and Machine Simulation What’s New

 

Home Page Ok 2022.JPG

 

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.

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:

B1

BX

B1 SE

B1 SE PLUS

Hurakan

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

         IdeaPrinter

 

IdeaPrinter.jpg

F1

F100

F100L

F2

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The easiest way to get started, is to copy an existing configuration that matches some of the characteristics of your machine.

 

 

 

 

4. Improved Machines

HP Jet Fusion 3D 5000 Printer

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5. 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 Fusion 360 data panel:

- 57 Zero-Point Accessories

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

6. Tool Applications

 

 

The Autodesk App Store helps you to easily extend the power of Autodesk Fusion 360.

In the CAM category you will find many useful extras for your manufacturing applications.

 

 

 

 

Harvey Tool.jpg

Harvey Tool Resources

The Harvey Tool Resources add-in provides a user-friendly interface that allows you to download Harvey tools into your Autodesk® Fusion 360® tool library.

The add-in allows you to download a Harvey tool to your Fusion 360 tool library by simply entering the Harvey tool number and clicking add tool.  It also allows you to search the Harvey Tool online catalogue and add tools from the catalog to your tool library.

 

 

 

 

 

 

7. Post Processor Engine

 

 

Our development team is always working to update and fix the Autodesk CAM Post Processor engine. These modifications are not related to a specific postprocessor (as described above) but affect the entire library or at least the post processors using that specific class. The current post processor kernel is 4.5991.

 

 

 

 

 

API.pngUpdated the machine code to properly handle the turret definition.

 

 

 

 

 

 

API.pngFixed retract and reconfigure movements against the stock.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can find here all the information regarding the Autodesk CAM Post Processor engine.
