Cam Optimization – V1.9.6 for Autodesk® Fusion®

Optimize your CAM toolpaths in seconds based on target Material Removal Rate (MRR).

Cam Optimization is a powerful, easy-to-use Fusion add-in that automatically calculates the ideal spindle speed, feed rate, stepdown, and stepover for every operation — delivering maximum efficiency with internal logic to help govern within your tool’s limits.

Core Features:

• Multi-Setup Support — Fully handles continuous-machining workflows with Setup 2 adaptive depth logic.
• Preset System — Save, load, and delete custom presets with automatic metric/imperial conversion.
• Live Preview — Review every optimized value before applying changes.
• Machining Time Comparison — Shows exact before/after times and % improvement.
• CSV Export — Logs all centroid Z-heights, parameters, and results for your records.
• Robust & Safe — Includes entitlement verification, comprehensive logging, and crash-resistant design.

V1.9.6 Updates

• Full Autodesk entitlement integration (license protection)
• Improved stability and offline grace period
• Refined face operation multiple-depth handling
• Minor UI and logging polish

Just select your top stock face (optional), choose a preset or enter your target MRR and chip loads, click Optimize, review the preview, and apply. The add-in regenerates toolpaths automatically.

Perfect for machinists and programmers who want faster cycle times, consistent tool life, and professional results without spending hours tweaking every operation manually.
