I'm not quite sure what you mean here. As soon as I extrude from a...

Well you can still use Fusion 360 as Standalone CAD. I'm not sure what you want to model, but T-Splines in Fusion 360 are epic. Check out the Fusion 360 Gallery for some of the stuff people are...

Just curious if you have tried CAM for Fusion 360 yet?

It's a hybrid desktop / cloud product. So it needs to connect to sync files to the cloud & check licensing etc every 30 days I believe.. You need an internet connection to get it up & running, but...

Would you like some help now? Or are you all set with CAM now?

Hey guys,

I hope you don't take this as being 'spammy', but I just want to let the ANZ'ers known on CNCZone that I will be helping to run an event at the Harvester Technical College in Melbourne...

Did you get on ok with it in the end?

Hey Gavin,

Autodesk Fusion 360 is free for makers to use, it includes full CAD / CAM capabilities, 3-axis & 3+2 toolpathing is supported. Turning will be available in a few months as well. Plus it...

waywood,

I'm wondering if you can help me find the information I need to figure out how to write a post which will output the correct code to create a pgm file for Xilog. How did you pull if off?...

thankyou

I'm confused, i got the impression you were suggesting purchasing a DMS but then when i told you my experience you suggested you have experienced the same thing. Since DMS have only been around for 4...

I went to the DMS factory on my trip to the US. I was impressed by their machines and what they achieve in their modest factory. However, i was made to feel uncomfortable and unimportant. Since i had...

Are any of you guys aware of the Thermwood Model 90 5-axis machine? i saw one in action at their factory last week. Its a noticeably more massive machine than the Model 67, and i had them surfacing...

i have looked at and had priced a cronsrud 5-axis, and yes they do look very nice, however, they are at the upper end of my price range, nevertheless i would be very interested except i have had to...

the replies guys!! They have bolstered my confidence that i am heading in the right direction and looking for all of the right things in my selection of machinery and software. I loved what widgits...

seems this is very much a hobbyists forum and therefore most of the posts that are useful to me or them ones i have posted haven't been replied to. slightly disappointing since there is sooo much...

I think i've got my pick of the bunch, the difficult thing down this end of the world is having to deal with service agents instead of the manufacturers themselves. It's very frustrating, i'm almost...

Sure, the only issue with that is we don't have the CNC yet, and i haven't picked which brand or model we want. But i certainly do intend on getting the salesman to work for the sale, the MasterCAM...

Cheers for that Blaine, I hadn't considered that, so what i need to make sure of is that options that are required by the CNC control are supported both by the Post and the CAM software?

why is that? what sort of stuff should i be looking for? i have been looking into Powermill 7 AlphaCAM V7 5-axis, masterCAM and surfCAM, any others i should be looking for? is it because certain...

ok i looked into SurfCAM to program the 5-axis we will be purchasing and having read this post i don't think i will. I wasn't impressed with their website at all anyway, was cold and un-informing,...

Hey guys,

I would appreciate some help and advice on which brands of 5-axis CNC's represent the best value for money while remaining rigid at all points in the machining envelope...

Hi my name is Scott and I'm a CAMoholic. LOL

Work for a company called SMI Group in Whangarei NZ. We do remote build super yacht interiors. Found this forum sometime ago while looking for...
