By this point, you should already have a valid toolpath created in Fusion 360įor your part similar to what is shown below.Need to be left to the Fusion360 defaults to properly set heights in your G-code program.īe sure to have these values set to the below. However, Clearance Height, Retract Height, and Top Height Actual Pierce and Cut Height Values will be set in the Post Processing step below.In the Linking menu of your CAM settings.
Go back and make sure that the box for ‘ Keep Nozzle Down’ is left unchecked
If your CrossFire machine is equipped with a powered Z-axis, you will want to. Its just a matter of polish and funding, and both of those are on the immediate horizon. People here are suggesting this guy change his employment or spend the equivelent value of a new car to pay for an annual subscription to software that doesn't really do anything that freecad doesn't. It offers everything the OP asked for, plus more, for free. I'd argue freecad already holds a candle to fusion360. That's why if you check the pulse data on freecad, you'll see hundreds of thousands of code changes per week, almost a hundred commits a week, and massive efforts to modernize and strengthen the software.ĭo you think fusion360 has anywhere close to this level of development happening at autodesk? I promise you they don't. With cnc machines and 3d printers becoming all but ubiquitous, and greedy companies rug pulling hobbiest, increasing license costs and moving services arbitrarily into the cloud for the sake of monetization, the need for an open source alternative is obviously a pressing concern. The same story happened with Blender, and then the project hit critical mass, and now it is out pacing pretty much every other 3d modeling software both in terms of financing and feature additions. 
Adoption is slow because funding isn't there, and funding isn't there because adoption is slow. It's just a case of the chicken and the egg. Id argue the funding isn't there just yet, but it's importance and support grows year after year. The interface is ugly, sure, but it does its job fine. It doesn't have the footprint that autodesk has, sure, but you're implying it's not real software, capable of fulfilling its intended role, which is wrong full stop.įreecad absolutely can stand toe to toe with any cad package out there. The money changing hands is largely a moot point.įreecad is used commercially.
I think commercial sale is largely irrelevant to the discussion.
