Just wondering who else uses Fusion 360 for their Design and CAM (Gcode Generation). Do you also have the rapid moves limited in the Gcode generation? ---

Only me it seems! I’ve created a tool that adds rapid movements back into the generated Gcode from Fusion360 CAM processors. This tool combats this following messages: > ;When using Fusion 360 for Personal Use, the feedrate of > ;rapid moves is reduced to match the feedrate of cutting > ;moves, which can increase machining time. Unrestricted rapid > ;moves are available with a Fusion 360 Subscription.

Hey Pete, Have you used any other CAM software? How does F360 as CAM compare? I’m still undecided what I will go with - my only experience is CamBam which I very much dislike… ---

Fusion and Solidworks use the same CAM processor - HSMWorks I believe. I’ve used both and I can say Fusions 360 offerings are way way better! I would recommend using F360. it has better features and produces some great movements. it also have an engrave function with is the best thing ever! You’ll need a post processor (as you know, information for others) which can be found here: [Post Library for Autodesk Fusion 360 | Autodesk Fusion 360](https://cam.autodesk.com/hsmposts) ---

If you’re using your V2 controller, do you just use the standard GRBL post processor or is there a better one? ---

I use Fusion360 extensively and have done since I built my CNC 5 years ago. For the past 2 years or so I have also been using Shapr3D as well primarily for modelling and prototyping for both CNC and 3D printing. I love the user experience of Shapr3D on the iPad Pro. I also use VCarve Desktop but I prefer the CAM tools in Fusion360. I will check out Root\_Rapidise as that feedrate restriction can really slow down. Thanks Pete. ---

I’m using Fusion with this [GitHub - BruceRoyce/UltimateRepRapPost: The ULTIMATE Duet3D RepRap Post-Processor for Autodesk Fusion 360](https://github.com/BruceRoyce/UltimateRepRapPost). I just had to modify it to lift the Spindle before the first G0 move as I have Z=0 at the top of the spoils board.
