Flow – The Flow toolpath in Fusion 360 is a great solution for doing 3D surfacing when the part or geometry is not cylindrical.Rotary – The Rotary toolpath is the first simultaneous 4th axis toolpath in Fusion 360 that doesn’t require a cylindrical feature! Take a look at the video below for tips on how to enable this toolpath.This is because Fusion takes the feature and ‘unwraps’ it, generating the toolpath for a flat surface, and rewrapping the toolpath to the feature so you end up with a simultaneous 4th axis toolpath. 2D Pocket – Much like 2D Adaptive, Pocket can be wrapped around a cylindrical feature.2D Adaptive – Also using Wrap Toolpath, Fusion can generate adaptive toolpaths around a cylinder, allowing you to machine pockets or slots that wrap around the part.2D Contour – Fusion 360 can create a simultaneous 4th axis contour toolpath so long as the feature is cylindrical using Wrap Toolpath.Fusion 360 4th Axis ToolpathsĬan Fusion 360 handle simultaneous 4th axis machining? Yes! There are quite a few simultaneous 4th axis Fusion 360 toolpaths, with some being only for cylindrical features and more being gradually introduced for more complex geometry: Paired with some AWESOME toolpaths in Fusion 360 this allows us to machine features that would normally require surfacing or otherwise be impossible to machine without simultaneous 4th axis machining. Simultaneous 4th Axis (sometimes called true 4th axis) machining involves the 4th axis moving at the same time (simultaneously) as the X, Y, and Z axes of a traditional mill.

This comes in handy when for example you need to machine a piece of roundbar to have a square on the end – each side of the square is its own distinct plane, so the 4th axis only needs to move in between cuts. Positional 4th Axis, or 3+1 machining, involves moving the 4th axis of the machine in between cutting material. 4th Axis CAM and 4th Axis machining can be handled in one of two ways: positional or simultaneous.
