This means, that you will need to deactivate some to make room for new ones, but unless you have many interlocking parts, 10 can be quite a lot for a hobbyist. step and similar files as well as limiting you to 10 active projects.

Please reach out to the team at Autodesk if you have any questions. Once you’ve chosen your plan, follow Autodesk’s instructions to download and install Fusion 360.

However, if your designs call for continuous milling-true 4th axis machining, where the rotational axis is turning while you’re milling-you need to purchase Autodesk’s Machinist Extension for Fusion 360. For many designs, you will be fine using the indexing approach for 4th axis machining. Remember, index milling is very similar to 3-axis machining because the 4th axis will rotate the part, but come to a stop before the Bantam Tools Desktop CNC Milling Machine starts milling. The free version of Fusion 360 only supports 2- and 3-axis machining. If you’re programming parts that call for index milling, you can use a free version of Autodesk’s Fusion 360 for personal use. The Bantam Tools Desktop CNC 4th Axis Accessory supports both index milling and continuous milling.
