New guy here, I’ve looked through the threads but don’t see a clear answer so my question is around Fusion and the Machine Library. I don’t see any Onefinity models to apply for the CAM side of things. Is there an available set up to load or setup values to manually apply and save?
I’m receiving my GEN 2 Foreman in the next few weeks so I’m getting a head start on getting familiar with Fusion.
Thanks for any help you can provide!

Fusion has a “Generic 3-Axis Router” that works.
There are a few different variants, and you’ll want to pick the one that has the correct configuration of axis. That is to say, our Onefinity machines have a Y-Axis, that moves the X-axis, that moves the Z-axis.
As for the post, Fusion also has some post processors that are present by default. Scroll down to the one from Onefinity’s parent company “Kirbre Enterprises”.
If you are interested in a full 3D model of the machine in Fusion - I recommend double checking if it’s really necessary. I went through the trouble of modelling the machine, but when I program a new setup the first thing I do is hide the machine I worked so hard to create. It is cool, but wasn’t really worth the trouble.
Great model BTW, and what you learned will likely not go to waste even if you aren’t using it as planned.
I believe the machine models really prove their worth with 4 and 5 axis simultaneous machining where the interplay between the added axes, unique fixturing, and more complex toolpaths become harder for the brain to imagine without the visual simulation of all of these.
Thanks @MikeXYZ , I found the Autodesk generic options and got it applied (I think). Now to learn how to set things up correctly to run a simulation on my first project!
Appreciate the guidance sincerely!
