First you should look thru the Posts that come with Fusion 360.Ultimately it is the NC control that will determine the format of the G-Code you need. You should first search by Machine Name and then filter your search by Control Type. If you have a - Klinx-O-Matic Vertical Milling Machine - with a 3 axis Siemens control. It's good to know both when looking for a post. How Do I Know Which Post Configuration File (.cps) To Use? Posts can be named after their CNC Control or the name and model of the machine tool. cps and have a machine/control description displayed. All Post Configuration files use an extension of. Here you can select the Post Configuration file that best suits your machine. We also recommend testing the post with our Post Processor Benchmark test file (shown below). This will make debugging code problems much easier. Keep an eye on the blog for updates on the guitar.Note: If you are testing a new Post, we recommend posting and running 1 operation at a time. Note that the video does not address clamping (although I mention some thoughts towards the end) and I should go back and edit some of the machining operations to set the coolant to “Disabled”, as we are cutting wood on a desktop CNC. I’ve chosen a 10mm flat end mill for the facing operation, my thoughts being that on a desktop CNC, there would not be a huge array of tools and I don’t expect to have access to a face mill.

I am hoping to also machine a body, and in preparation of AU London, I have put together a 10 minute video showing my setup in Autodesk Inventor HSM, or Inventor CAM as it is now called. The initial design starts with a PDF, which is imported into AutoCAD, this geometry is then used In Inventor to shape the body of the guitar, check out the blog post here:īelow is a picture of the initial test fit of all the parts (finishing of the body still to be done), and then some progress pictures of the body being shaped. For the Class, I have already built the guitar, sculpting the body with hand tools. As part of my AU London class this year, I am building an electric guitar using the Autodesk Product Design and Manufacturing Collection.
