I would like to see Fusion add native support for Swiss-type lathes, including post processors for Citizen L-series machines. From my experience, Fusion already has most of the toolpaths needed to program the majority of Swiss parts. Standard turning and milling operations work well, and features such as Subspindle Grab and Bar Pull are already available. There may be some specialized Swiss applications that require new toolpath strategies, but I believe those represent the exception rather than the rule. The two biggest obstacles I've heard regarding Swiss support are: Fusion does not currently provide machine simulation for turning. However, that limitation also exists for conventional lathes, and Fusion still offers robust post processors for those machines. Fusion does not support true multi-channel programming. As an interim solution, I think Autodesk could provide Swiss post processors that include additional post properties to configure the machine's MCData settings, while allowing programmers to insert synchronization codes using Pass-Through Manual NC. As long as the sync codes are properly matched between the main and subspindle setups, this approach would make basic Swiss programming possible without waiting for full multi-channel support. I've been modifying a post processor for a Citizen L32-X, although it still requires significant work before it's production-ready. I've added post properties that replicate the MCData page as closely as possible. I've attached the latest version in case anyone wants to use portions of it or help develop it into a fully functional post. CAUTION: This post is a work in progress and should only be used as a starting point. It has not been thoroughly tested and should not be relied upon for production without careful verification. I've heard that Swiss support is on Fusion's roadmap, and I hope it becomes a higher priority. Fusion is light-years ahead of PartMaker in terms of user interface, workflow, and overall usability. With just a bit more development effort, I believe it could become an excellent platform for programming Swiss machines, even if the initial implementation focuses on basic capabilities. Show More

Hello, my name is Pete. I'm trying to get a Centroid XZC custom system running and having a really hard time with this. I have a custom centroid post processor someone kindly offered on their forum but it is not playing well with fusion. Any help getting pointed in the right direction would really really be appreciated. The real sticking point is milling pockets on the concave surface of a piece of pipe. WRAP with 2D adaptive clearing is only supported for exterior pockets in XZC mode. I've tried SWARTH tool, but the post processor fails every time. Thank you in advance! Show More

Hello everyone, I recently bought a CNC lathe as a hobby and I run it on some days. I can write programs manually and use ShopTurn without problems. However, I would like to try using Autodesk Fusion, at least for testing purposes. The problem is that I couldn’t find a postprocessor suitable for my machine. I’m not sure if the ones available in the Fusion library will work with my setup. Machine: DMG CTX 210, with C-axis Control unit: Siemens 840D Powerline The lathe is quite an old model. 2006  Fusion appears to be free for amature users. I asked the local reseller for support, but they didn’t help and told me I would need to purchase the program. At the moment, I’m not in a position to buy it — I just want to do some test cuts. My questions are: Will the standard Fusion 360 postprocessors work with this machine? Or is a custom solution required? What’s the best approach for hobby users like me in this situation? If anyone has experience running Fusion 360 with a similar lathe, I’d really appreciate your advice. Thanks 🙏 Show More

Hello, I would like to request a custom post processor (or an update to an existing one) for our lathe HWACHEON HI-TECH 230 BL YSMC used with Fusion 360 (Manufacture workspace). On the Autodesk post library I can only find a post for HWACHEON HI-TECH 230 AL, but our machine is the 230 BL YSMC version equipped with: main spindle sub-spindle Y-axis and C-axis (live tooling) We would like to fully utilize the sub-spindle for part transfer and secondary operations. Our requirements in short: Support for main + sub-spindle (including spindle selection and synchronization) Correct M-codes for: main spindle on/off (CW/CCW) sub-spindle on/off (CW/CCW) spindle synchronization chuck open/close for main and sub-spindle Support for: part transfer between main and sub-spindle cut-off and pick-up driven tools with C-axis and Y-axis We are currently using the HWACHEON HI-TECH 230 AL post as a starting point, but it does not support the sub-spindle configuration of our BL YSMC machine. If helpful, I can provide: the existing AL post we are using now, the machine’s G/M-code list from the controller, sample NC programs generated directly from the machine tool vendor. Could you please help with: a dedicated post for HWACHEON HI-TECH 230 BL YSMC, or guidance / a modified version of the existing AL post with proper sub-spindle support? Thank you in advance for your support and any guidance. Best regards, Kamil Show More

It would be great to have a post from Fusion to our HURCO TM8Mi Lathe, we already use Fusion to teach students how to tool path for our Mill but we have several student requests for posting directly to our new Lathe, It would be great to try out some of the new turning/milling toolpathing options.
