Fusion 360 CAM - How to get & Install more Post Processors -  

Hi Lars, I'm a hobby guy who built a cnc router a year ago. Arduino/GRBL based. You are my go to source as new questions arise . You are very good at taking technical topics and explaining them in terms that a non technically trained person can understand and implement. Thanks so much.

Thanks. More than 3 years later this still works with the newest Fusion version. I added the WorkBee - Duet.

Used the library this week for the first time to get a post for LinuxCNC-turn, but didn't know realized how to upload to the cloud library until watching this video. I like the idea of using the posts that come with (and hopefully are updated with) Fusion360, but I also like the idea of making a copy of those posts that I use so I know what to expect and know when they update (so I can keep an eye on the output.)

This video did an amazing job explaining. Thank you so so much

Missed live stream today and this week. It seems that every time Fusion updates your imported post is lost during update. Also if you work on multiple machines the file is local. so if you have many users posting to a machine they all need to install locally.

Great videos. I have the Fusion 360 Personal version and while I can open up and use CAM (Manufacturing), It doesn't have Tormach as an option in Machine Setup. Also, to the point of this video, when I open the Preferences like you do, there is no CAM entry even though the rest of the preferences look the same. Also under Actions / Post Processor, I can download a Tormach.cps and put it in a folder, set the Personal Post Library to that folder like in the video but it won't load the .cps file? Is this not supported because its the free version or am I missing something?

yay HSM gets a mention. I never hear about it anymore, We worked with those guys closely a number of years ago to create a post for a machine we purchased so we could go from inventor->HSM->FANUC all from the comfort of my desk... Oh the good old days

Hey Lars! I love your videos, you are great! For some reason this method wasn't working for me. However, in messing around with Post Processor tab in Fusion 360, I discovered a different method. Clicked OPEN FOLDER under the setup button to take me to the root file. Then I dragged the PP file I downloaded into the root file. It also added it to the drop-down box too!

I watch all your videos to learn Fusion 360. I am a technology instructor for the high school students taking advanced STEM programs for our local school district. In our lab, we have a new Roland MDX-540SA mill with a tool changer and rotary axis. I teach the students to use Fusion 360 to design parts and assemblies for their robotic projects. We would like to use the new Roland MDX-540SA to make parts designed in Fusion 360. I have searched the web and cannot find the Fusion 360 post-processor that supports the tool changer and rotary axis. You mentioned you can use another post-processor that has these similar features. Question do you know how I could set up the Roland post-processor to accommodate the tool changer and rotary axis or another one I might use? Any help would be deeply appreciated. Thank you

Hi I saw this video and wanted to setting up my CNC and coordinate with post processor but my fusion has not any machine Dimension and unit measure for setting up would you please guide me ?Thanks

I have a ".pp" post processor and Fusion wont recognize it. Is there a way to convert it or to get Fusion to recognize it? Appreciate your videos, BTW.

I’m sure John is liking you wear his shirt for the broadcast! :)

Can you share fanuc 21m mill machine post process

hello sir i have question. how can i find my CNC postprocessor?i went to buy g code for my cnc engineer guy said my know my cnc post processor

Fusion 360 post for G&L 18T with G&L 8000B controller I recently started using Fusion 360, and have found posts that run in all the machines in the shop, with the exception of the G&L. I have been in contact with Autodesk trying to get a post that works. I have had no success in finding one. I have "tweeked" the post I have with good results, with the exception of circular interpolation. The controller does not recognize "R" for G2 or G3, so "I" and "K" is what it uses. I always get the error “CIRCULAR MODE PROGRAMMING ERROR”. Thanks for any help I can get!!

Hey Lars, perfect steaming today. Thx. I will look at that video cam for dummy. 😀 Thx

great video but a little over my head. but i'm looking for help. i have a router that i added a laser to. im trying to get the laser to go off between shapes for engraving. it works with plasma but only for cutting. can anyone here help?

what about the sub models such as fanuc i series i can just use fanuc?

Thx, Lars. That was a BIG help:)

Is the file from the library able to be used in any CAM program?

VERY HELPFUL

I have 360 start-up but how can I get cam I can't find it ?

Helpful yes thank you

Thanks man

I have cnc router machine can you help

thanks
