How will it affect your bottom line? Does it have the capabilities you need? How easy is it to use? Will it work with your Haas CNC machines? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We&#8217;ve closely partnered with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.haascnc.com\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Haas Automation<\/a> to try to reduce the pain of getting set up with a Haas CNC machine and Fusion 360. How, you ask? Let&#8217;s dig into the benefits of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/campaigns\/machine-like-a-pro\">Fusion and Haas compatibility<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/tim-at-haas_edited-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"haas-automation-fusion-360-autodesk\" class=\"wp-image-16002\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/tim-at-haas_edited-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/tim-at-haas_edited-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/tim-at-haas_edited-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/tim-at-haas_edited-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/tim-at-haas_edited-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/tim-at-haas_edited-284x160.jpg 284w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/tim-at-haas_edited-382x216.jpg 382w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"post-processors\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Post processors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/a-quick-introduction-to-editing-post-processors\/\">Setting up a post processor<\/a>, especially when your Haas machine has some optional features like a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/advanced-manufacturing-with-4-axis-cnc-milling\/\">4th axis<\/a> or trunnion, can be a long, difficult, and expensive process. We worked with Haas to address this and make post-processing as easy as possible. The <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/cam.autodesk.com\/hsmposts\" target=\"_blank\">Online Post Library<\/a> contains hundreds of free, open-source, and customizable post processors. When it comes to Haas Automation, we worked with them to create machine-specific posts for over 25 specific Haas machines. Spend less time editing posts and more time making parts. And if your machine isn&#8217;t included, we made the generic posts as robust as possible. Find your Haas Automation post-processor <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/cam.autodesk.com\/hsmposts?search=haas\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"haas-tool-libraries\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Haas tool libraries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the second hardest parts about getting started with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/computer-aided-manufacturing-beginners\/\">CAM<\/a>, in my opinion, is setting up your tool library. Luckily we made it easy by offering the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/cam.autodesk.com\/hsmtools?p=Haas_Tooling\/Haas_Tooling\" target=\"_blank\">full Haas tooling catalog<\/a> on our online tool library! The tools come with the recommended feeds and speeds for each material as found in the Haas catalog. This way, you can easily get up and running with your Haas tooling. Spend less time setting up tools and more time machining. <\/p>\n\n\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Autodesk Fusion 360 | Quick Tip: Haas Tooling in the New Fusion 360 Tool Library\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dFksRGBP2bo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen style=\"aspect-ratio:500 \/ 281;width:100%;height:auto;\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"fusion-and-cnc-workholding\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fusion and CNC workholding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"378\" height=\"278\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/workholding.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16012\" style=\"width:378px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/workholding.png 378w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/workholding-300x221.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 378px) 100vw, 378px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, one of the biggest strengths of Fusion is the integration of a complete suite of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/using-the-best-practices-in-cad-data-management\/\">CAD <\/a>tools alongside the powerful CAM. This tight integration means you can more easily create a setup that mirrors what&#8217;s in your Haas machine, helping you program more safely and intelligently. We have Haas workholding available directly within Fusion&#8217;s Data Panel, so you can quickly get your part setup for better and safer downstream processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"live-connection-to-haas-machines\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Live connection to Haas machines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last but certainly not least, you can connect your computer with Fusion installed directly to your Haas machine. This lets you read in inspection results as they are collected. Just one more way we are working towards closing the loop between CAM and CNC machine. Richard did an excellent tutorial on connecting to a Haas classic control with an R232 connector. Haas has made it easier than ever to connect with wifi built into their Next Generation Control.<\/p>\n\n\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Autodesk Fusion 360 | Tutorial: Fusion 360 Live Connection to Haas Classic Control\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/N5naayLBr7g?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen style=\"aspect-ratio:500 \/ 281;width:100%;height:auto;\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"so-whats-the-verdict\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">So what&#8217;s the verdict?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have worked closely with Haas Automation over the last several years to make the process as seamless as possible to get up and running, making Fusion as compatible with Haas Automation as we can.
