Post-Processor Installation
|
Before generating G-code, we need to make sure Fusion360 recognises 5axismaker for CNC milling. Each CAM package requires a post-processor made specifically for 5XM to take full advantage of 5-axis capability. Download the latest 5axismaker post for Fusion360 by visiting Autodesk Post Library. For all the steps on how to install a Personal (local) Post Processor in Fusion 360 CAM please follow this link. |
Run G-code: How to Post-Process
Post-process the required sides as separate text files. To obtain G-code right click on the chosen toolpath and select Post Process, where an additional window will appear.
Make sure that you select 5axismaker in the Post Process window, setup the Configuration Folder and Output Folder where the G-code will be stored. In Program Settings below you specify the name of the file:
Once you click Post button you will receive G-code in a Text Format, this is how your G-code will look like:
After obtaining the code, setup Mach3 (or Mach4) and load your G-code.
