Fusion Manufacturing Automation for Faster CNC Programming
Standardise and speed up CNC programming in Autodesk Fusion. We automate CAM setups, templates, tool libraries, post processing, setup sheets and NC file delivery so every programmer works the same proven way.
From model to machine with fewer clicks
In many shops, CAM programming time varies widely between programmers, tool libraries drift, setup sheets are inconsistent and NC files are copied to machines manually. Fusion has strong CAM tools, templates and a flexible post processor system, and with automation they can become a repeatable production process.
ENGIMANDI combines Fusion API add-ins, CAM templates, shared tool libraries and custom post processors to automate your manufacturing workflow. Typical work includes one-click setup creation from part features and stock, template application by material and machine, automatic post processing with correct file naming, custom setup sheets, NC file delivery to machines or DNC folders, and job data exported to ERP or MES.

Fusion manufacturing questions
Can Fusion toolpaths be generated fully automatically?
For families of similar parts, largely yes. For varied parts, automation handles setup, templates and output while the programmer reviews toolpaths.
Do you also build post processors?
Yes. Custom Fusion post processors are a core service and are often part of manufacturing automation projects.
Can setup sheets match our format?
Yes. Fusion setup sheets are templates we can customise with your layout, logo and data.
Is Fusion Manage involved?
It can be. Fusion Manage can handle release and change processes that trigger manufacturing steps.
Do you support mill-turn and 5-axis?
Yes. We automate workflows and posts for milling, turning, mill-turn and multi-axis machines.
