Key features of PowerMill
The evolving capabilities in Fusion 360 with PowerMill® enable easier 3- and 5-axis CAM programming, helping manufacturers get more from their subtractive, additive, and hybrid machines.
Every CAD support
Import surfaces, solids, or meshes from mainstream CAD systems and produce NC code even if data is poor quality
High-efficiency roughing
Choose from a range of roughing strategies to remove material quickly and maximize cutter life
Comprehensive finishing
Access a library of finishing toolpaths to produce precision parts with exceptional surface finish
Multi-axis machining
Simplify 3+2 and 5-axis machining to produce parts with fewer setups, shorter tools, and faster feeds and speeds
Toolpath optimization
Make global or localized edits to your toolpaths without the need for lengthy, wasteful recalculations
Toolpath verification
Check individual toolpaths or entire projects to find and fix problems before they cause expensive mistakes
Machine simulation
Use a 3D model of your CNC machine to simulate toolpaths and identify collisions, near-misses, or over-travel
Post-processing
Use configurable post-processor files to export safe and efficient NC code to suit your specific machine
User-defined automation
Embed your best practices into templates and macros and share with others to automate common tasks
Hybrid manufacturing
Create, control, and simulate deposition strategies for driving high-rate additive processes such as DED and FFF
Industrial robots
Offline programming and simulation of industrial robots with analysis to avoid singularities and over-travel
Industry specific solutions
Access specialized strategies to manufacture ports, manifolds, blades, blisks, and impellers
