What are NC Programs?

NC Programs is a relatively new feature in Fusion 360 that allows you to save post processor settings such as file name, output location, the specific post processor, CNC machine, and even which specific toolpaths or operations to post as well as various other settings.

The ability to post an image in your G-code is invaluable! With PathPilot, you have the ability to display a photo whenever you need it during your setup.

When you have an idea but aren't sure where to start, don't waste time starting from scratch. Tormach solid models are accessible and easy to use - and a great resource to integrate into your CNC, CAD, and CAM workflow.

There were Tormach employees all over the country last week, from Autodesk University in Las Vegas to talking makerspaces at MIT in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Some spent last week in the glitz and glam of Las Vegas… but really, we only saw the inside of the Sands Convention Center where Tormach Brand Ambassador, John Saunders, spent the week teaching CAM and machining.

Toolpaths are the heart of computer aided manufacturing (CAM), and by association, incredibly important to CNC machining. But, toolpaths are more than just the pattern tools make to cut your parts.

What happens when you combine nearly 400 machining enthusiasts, a panel of YouTubers, and a few metal-working companies? You get the Saunders Machine Works/NYC CNC open house.
