Does anyone have any experience using powermill with Thermwood 5 axis CNC routers?

 

Do Autodesk have post processors available for this type of machine?

 

Therwood will only provide/support posts for Mastercam and no other CAM package.

I worked with a customer about 3 years ago that had a Thermwood 67D. We had it up and running on PowerMill without any issues.

Ah, That's good to know, I'm currently using powermill with my 7 axis Kuka Robot arm, and really want to use it with the 5 axis router as well.

 

The router will be 2nd hand so will come with a post processor and kinematic model although they will be for Mastercam. Is it best to send these to Autodesk when requesting a powermill compatible post and simulation model?
