Autodesk fusion 360 lathe.

Post by kaimaui »

I am just starting to use my dm-3000 with the acorn conversion.
CNC lathe is something very new to me. So far I have been able to use fusion 360 to create some test files. I have been using the fanuc turn post and then edeting the NC file deleting g18 and g54.
As I said just starting.... I am trying to figure out how to edit the post so that it leaves the g18 g54 out but so far it is beyond me.
It took about an afternoon of watching tutorials and playing with fusion to get to a point where I can create some basic parts. So far so good. If anybody has made a post for fusion that works I would appreciate some advice. Other then that I will post my experiences with it as I get further along.

If it does, let me know. I have one that theoretically works, but have only bench tested. Maybe we can share notes. I have no real understanding of Javascript, but I know how to machine.

Kai, send it to Frijoli as well. You guys would be doing those using Centroid equipped lathes if you can come up with a decent post processor.
Thanks for the efforts!
