Despite what people are saying, Fusion isn't a web-app, and the vast majority of the computation is done locally. Not that the postprocessor files are stored locally, for example. As are the thread tables etc. All that is done on "other people's computers" is file conversion and file storage. And I think that is intended as a feature to allow working on the same model from different locations and by more than one person. You can save the f3d locally. But I hear rumours that F3D is more of a memory dump than a file format and might be very version-dependent. > > What is REALLY needed is a good open source CAM system that accepts .STEP > > files from any CAD system. Add a STEP importer to PyCAM? https://github.com/SebKuzminsky/pycam/releases PyCAM came within a whisker of moving in to the LinuxCNC project.
