Sinker EDM & Wire EDM in Autodesk Fusion
AURON modules automate electrode design, contour recognition and EDM programming in Fusion, right through to NC code output.
From 3D model straight to the EDM program
Up to 50% faster
Electrode design, contour preparation and CAM programming run automatically. Work up to 50% faster.
Parameters from the model
No manual intermediate steps. Parameters are taken directly from the model – consistent and traceable.
Faster onboarding
Guided workflows instead of individual workarounds. New staff become productive faster, results stay consistent.
Add-on modules for your EDM processes
As standard, Autodesk Fusion has no dedicated EDM functions. Every electrode and every toolpath has to be built manually using general functions. The AURON modules are installed as an add-in in Fusion and take over these steps.
Sinker EDM: automatic electrode design
The module automates the workflow in Fusion from cavity analysis to the finished EDM program. You only need a few clicks – the module does the rest.
- Select the EDM surface and holder, and enter the spark gap in the dialog. The electrode is created automatically with its base, reference and datum points.
- The electrode is passed to the CAM workspace with prepared datum points. The milling program for electrode manufacturing can be sent straight to the CNC machine.
- The EDM program is prepared and output to the EDM machine via integrated post processors.
Automate wire EDM in Fusion
The module simplifies programming for wire EDM machines. Only a few manual inputs are needed – the rest runs automatically.
- Contours, features and start holes are recognised automatically, even with several geometries on one workpiece in a single step. The toolpaths are generated from this.
- 4-axis machining and the rotary axis are integrated in the module.
- The EDM program is transferred to the EDM machine via integrated post processors.
