This means a bit more material waste, but this is better than no cuts at all!

Easy fix has been to just nudge those parts further into the sheet. goes outside the working box, Biesseworks thinks the line is broken. This doesn't always happen, but sometimes when a linking move, etc. The most common reason for broken geometry in Biesseworks is when toolpaths cross outside of the working field. As long as the holes are correctly spaced, multi-hole drilling works great!īroken Geometry - this was the tough one. It's been a few months since I posted this here as well as on the Autodesk Forums and it we have made progress!ĭrill Block - as long as the name of the tool and tool holder match in Fusion 360 and Biesseworks, everything works fine.

Who knows what the future will bring and what software we will be using hehehe.ġ/22/21 #6: Fusion 360 to Biesse Klever 1530. Right now we are using Mozaik and it has built in support for the multi drill head and they even made us a post for it so we use it that way most of the time. I don't use it anymore now have switched CAM programs several times since then. I know it was really designed for CNC routers but works fine for me. Worked great for my little CNC mill I built. Sheetcam was the very first CAM program I ever used. Does that make sense? Again from what I have seen of the capabilities of the software it would not surprise me if there was a way to do this but I have not had time to mess with it.

I do not think there is a way to say select a series of 32mm holes spaced and have the system understand that it is to use the multi drill head all at once calling out the individual tools and using their particular offsets for the holes at hand. I think the difficulty comes from the CAD side of things.

Of course setting up tool offsets would work. Thanks Dropout, As I said I am quite sure it is possible to use this multi drill head inside Fusion360.

We also make CNC machined metal parts and 3D SLA print things for our customers using the same softwares.ġ0/29/20 #4: Fusion 360 to Biesse Klever 1530. This so far has worked quite well for us. We make a lot of one off higher end projects that require a good bit of 3D toolpathing.
#SHEETCAM VS FUSION 360 CODE#
Toolpaths are adequate and I have not found any problems with the Code it posts.
#SHEETCAM VS FUSION 360 HOW TO#
If you figure out how to make Fusion360 use the drill block let me know )Īside from that and the occasional slow performance under very complex geometric shapes I find Fusion360 very easy to work with and the direct to CAM integration is quite nice. We try to keep the very complex 3d stuff inside fusion360 and the more cabinet related parts inside the cabinet software.

This of course can be accomplished in Fusion360 with either a saved database of cabinets or using a lot of custom parameters etc. A lot of what makes dedicated cabinet software so capable is the ability to change things globally or per cabinet on the fly and not have to move a lot of bodies around etc. Lately we have been moving to doing a lot of 3D modeling of cabinetry in our Fusion360 because it allows a lot more flexibility of design albeit with some difference in design time. I am quite sure that there is someone who could make fusion360 use the drill block but at this point we are not using it for that. We have had to drip feed these larger programs into the Onsrud because it only has a finite memory.įor the multi drill block we have thus far only used it inside our cabinet software and it works fine that way. complex 3D toolpaths have been done without issues. Fusion is quite good and for more complex stuff it has been our goto. We are using Fusion360 as well as other cabinet software to run our CNC machines including a 5x12 Onsrud Flatbed among other machines.
