New features of FeatureCAM 2024
Autodesk Fusion 360 with FeatureCAM is typically used by CAM programmers, manufacturing engineers, and CNC machinists. FeatureCAM is commonly used in industries such as aerospace, automotive, medical, and consumer goods.
New features of FeatureCAM 2024
Autodesk Fusion 360 with FeatureCAM is CAM software used to automate the generation of CNC machining code. It is typically used to program 3- and 5-axis CNC mills, as well as lathes, turn-mill and mill-turn machines, multi-tasking machines, and wire EDMs. A subscription to Fusion 360 with FeatureCAM also includes access to PartMaker. PartMaker is CAM software with advanced capabilities specifically designed to program Swiss-lathes.
