3D-model of machine for simulation in Fusion 360

Post by YngveT7D0 » Tue 03 Oct , 2023 13:35 pm

I recently got access to a Denford VMC 1300 Pro (from 2019) at a local makerspace, and would like to simulate my toolpaths in Fusion 360. I know it's not strictly necessary, but it would be nice to see how accurate I need to be with stock placement for larger parts.
I am trying to find a 3D model of the VMC 1300 Pro. Preferably as a STEP or f3d file, but any format is acceptable/helps.

Hi Yngve,

We are currently working with Autodesk to add all of the machines into the software for simulation. I know this answer doesn't help you straight away but hold tight and we will have all of our machines added to fusion 360.

Thanks for the reply
Do you have a rough time estimate? If it's too long, I'll model the most important features myself, but I would rather not spend time doing that based on measurements made on the machine itself.
