About

MacroFusion™ is an advanced CNC macro automation platform that converts repetitive CAM-generated G-code into intelligent reusable CNC macro programs. The software analyzes repetitive machining motion and transforms long NC programs into compact macro logic using variables, loops, conditions, and automation workflows. Features include: • CAM-to-macro conversion • Intelligent pattern recognition • WHILE loop automation • Variable-driven machining • Custom canned cycle builder • Toolpath preview and macro visualization • Macro workbench and live simulation • G-code compression and optimization • Reusable machining logic Supports advanced workflows including: • Helical interpolation • Trochoidal slot milling • Spiral pocket milling • Bolt-circle automation • Figure-8 oil groove machining • Face sweeping • Wave surfacing Compatible with Fanuc, Haas, Siemens, Okuma, and other macro-capable CNC controls.

About

CNC Software for Non-Machinists. MeshCAM is the fastest way to generate gcode. You have a simple goal, to take a CAD file and get your mill to cut it. You don’t want to become an expert on CAM software, you want parts today. MeshCAM is made for people who just want to make parts now. MeshCAM works with almost every 3D CAD program by opening the two most common 3D file formats, STL and DXF. If you just want to make 2D parts without using a 3D CAD program, you can load 2D DXF files (in R12 format) and extrude them to a 3D part. Sometimes you need a part that cannot be designed with a traditional CAD program. Sometimes you don’t even have a CAD program. If this sounds like you, don’t worry. You can open any image file (JPG, BMP, or PNG) in MeshCAM and the image will be converted to a 3D surface that can be machined directly. Users have come up with incredible uses for this feature to make parts that would be almost impossible with a traditional CAD program.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I like Macrofusion is easy to install and takes up very little space. I also really appreciate that the new version consolidates many of the smaller programs, so you now only need a single application. Support is easy to reach and always very helpful.
  • One thing I like is that it gives another option besides constantly going back into CAM for small changes. We have used it to build reusable cycles that can be adjusted with variables instead of editing hundreds or thousands of lines of code. The thread generation tools are straightforward, and the Macro Library has several useful functions that can be applied to everyday jobs.

Cons

  • One downside is the lack of detailed Manuals or explanatory videos that thoroughly explain how to use the Software, thought I notice this is improving with each new version.
  • It takes some time to learn the different features and understand where they fit into your programming workflow. New users will probably spend a bit of time experimenting before getting the most out of it.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • That I didn't have to spend any money to test it.

Cons

  • Tool paths were ridiculous, tool was cutting air more than metal. Run times in hours not minutes.
