5-axis CAM software for complex subtractive, additive, and hybrid manufacturing. Programs mold, die, and aerospace parts with a full library of machining strategies and automatic collision avoidance.
PowerMill handles the toolpath work that trips up general-purpose CAM: deep cavities, complex 5-axis surfaces, and unattended finishing runs. Strategy libraries and template-driven programming keep the process fast even as the geometry gets harder.
Program complex subtractive, high-rate additive, and hybrid manufacturing operations from one strategy library.
Cut programming time with fast toolpath generation and advanced editing tools.
Every toolpath checks itself against the machine and fixture before it reaches the floor.
Verify and optimize motion for CNC machines and industrial robots before you cut.
Reduce manual polishing with toolpaths built for high-quality surface finishes.
Move a model from Fusion into PowerMill for advanced 5-axis programming without starting over.

Complex 3- and 5-axis machining: mold and die work, aerospace parts, and anything with deep cavities or difficult surfaces that need dedicated toolpath strategies.
Yes. Autodesku2019s Fusion-PowerMill workflow lets you move a model from Fusion into PowerMill for advanced 5-axis programming, so design and complex CAM stay connected instead of living in separate files.
Yes. PowerMill simulates and optimizes motion for both CNC machines and industrial robots, so the same collision-checking and toolpath tools apply to robotic machining setups.
DSI runs Essentials/Intermediate, Advanced 5-Axis, Macros & Customization, and custom Robot training, live online with DSI-certified instructors.
Fusionu2019s built-in CAM covers most everyday milling and turning. PowerMill adds dedicated 5-axis strategies, robot programming, and toolpath libraries built for the hardest parts on the floor.
