![]() Anyway, I got through it all and am getting comfortable with just operating the program. I spent probably around 12 hours on these videos, not because of what Lars was doing in the videos, but what he didn't cover, like how to move stuff around on the screen, what a capture position does, what all the constraints do, why I kept getting constraint errors etc. Then I started with the Lars Christensen Fusion 360 Tutorial for Absolute Beginners Part 1,2,3. That was helpful and gave me a paradigm of what was going on in fusion. Well, I spent some time reading about parametric modeling. At this point, you should really be talking about an industrial machine though but I've seen router tables with slow enough spindles and very good rigidity doing steel with limited success. As a machine gets more rigid, the spindle HP goes up, and the machine weight goes up you can machine soft metals faster, eventually approaching the limit of carbide tools, and perhaps even do some harder metals like softer steels. Go with the Fusion, when you get over the $100K threshold it will still cost you less then Aspire because you'll be machining so much faster with the better CAM.Īs for aluminum, even the Shapoko, which is a much lower end machine, can do aluminum when you use proper settings for feed and speed as well as toolpaths. Aspire has the same poor and limited CAM as all their other packages, it lacks many features including climb/conventional milling settings that actually work properly besides rest machining and trochoidal toolpaths. ![]() To do fancy and controlled work you are far better off with Fusion (free), Solidworks (expensive), or another 3D CAD program and a good CAM package (included in Fusion). This file has been truncated.Fusion is a parametric solid modeling program, Aspire is not. ![]() Menu | (#overview) | **Components(** (#onefinity-custom-post-processor) | (#onefinity-custom-machine-library-definition) ) | (#procedures) | It help automate the settings in your Fusion 360 Job Setup for a particular process. It let you define your specific machine and ressources settings in one place. The machine configuration file is an optional component. (#onefinity-custom-machine-library-definition) It's a language definition file used to converts toolpaths created in a CAM software into language (NC programs) than can be read by the CNC machine's controller. The post processor file is a mandatory component.

Menu | (#overview) | (#components) | (#procedures) | blaghislain/onefinity-post-processors/blob/main/Fusion/README.md # Onefinity Fusion 360 Post Processor & Machine This reminds me of the days when we use to select HP Laser Jet 5 as the print driver even if we had a different brand laser printer… is this the same kind of thing, should I select a generic 3-axis machine? Sorry to drag this out but I’m completely new to this. But if Onefinity is suppose to be listed as a MACHINE then I’m still lost.Īgain, I’m just trying to figure out the correct Machine selection, not the post processor. ![]() But if everyone is selecting say, Autodesk Generic 3-axis as the machine then OK, that would answer my question. Are you saying that by loading the infinity_fusion360.cps file that it should populate both the Machine and the Post Processor? If that’s the case something is not loading correctly for me. Under Manufacture, the first category is Milling and I select Setup, then I select New Setup from the drop down and the very first question is Machine - this is where I do not find Onefinity listed. In the latest release of Fusion 360 (Personal-Not for Commerical Use) version / macOS 10.16.0. The issue I am trying to resolve is not Post Processor selection…its the MACHINE selection. I did follow the instructions which loaded the cps file and it shows up in the Manufacture / Actions / Post Process Dialog box (see attached screenshot I). Well I guess I am still misunderstanding the process.
