I’ve spent days searching for information on milling PCBs from within the Fusion 360 environment and finally found this. I seem to cover all I need at this point and then some more, Very helpful! Thank you!
I wish I found your video last night before I did everything wrong and wasted an entire sleepless night. But thank you! This video helped me sort everything out fast.
Thanks! Have been using Eagle + FlatCAM until now but one annoyance has been that FlatCAM does not do non-rectangular board cutouts (yes it says it does but really doesn't) so I've had to use Fusion for that anyway. This all just makes everything so much easier also if I need to modify PCB design. Found this whole Eagle integration accidentally by googling and then started looking for examples how people mill with it and found your great tuto that saved some hours of figuring out best tools for trace milling.
Hi Daniel, I do not get the copper layer. I see the traces in the rendering. They are green but when I create the Gerber files the tracers are not available. Also in the Fysio tree on the right I there in no entry for the copper later. I did copy to polygon and made it ground.
Excellent Video, thank you. I would not have thought about using 3D contour for a PCB. Just one little thing to make your life simpler : When you need a hole larger than the diameter of the bit you have, you can use 2D "Bore".
Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge, by the way what is the Raptor library or what kind of library should I use for the milling tool for the PCB, also the speeds that you program are specific to the tool you use? Thank you very much
Helpful videos, thanks! In my case, 3D Contour doesn't produce good results, only the holes are milled, not the traces. But with 2D Chamfer I've got both milled. Also, for drilling try to use 2D Bore.
Great video. But the solder mask thickness is too thin thus the milling bit sometimes lost contact to top of the board even if I made the heightmap. In my case, it's better to set Stock mode to Relative size box and add Stock top offset. I set Stock top offset 0.01mm. And in contour setting, set Top Height from Stock top and Offset 0, Bottom Height from Stock top and Offset -0.05mm. Then I got enough milling depth ;)
If you want to avoid drilling, you can also edit 2d countour -> Passes -> set Minimum Cutting Radius = 0. Also the hight of copper of 0.2mm is too much, because deep drilling messes geometry. I use autolevel + 0.1 mm depth and got very smooth lines.
Thank you for extremely helpful and detailed tutorial creating .nc files and for the good explanation. One of the best guides I've seen!
You explained it very well. Please make more Videos about PCB Design in Fusion 360.
Thanks for this series!

This series of videos is an extremely helpful introduction to the new electronics design features! Thank you very much!
Thanks for this series. This is exactly what I wanted to learn today, and you explained it very thoroughly and well.
Your walk through is excellent. You saved me hours of fiddling. I still can't get the V bit from trying to drill the holes, however.
Thanks a lot. A brilliant Tutorial. Although I used a different PCB layout and CNC machine, it helped me a lot.

how can I get that tool library?
This really helped. I am making PCB style business cards to mill with my desktop cnc. Thanks

Good Job! I use all parts of your instruction and have good result. Thanks!
Excellent tutorial, keep up the great work.

Great series. Can you tell me how to get it to machine all the copper off and leave the track and pads behind.
Hi thanks for this tutorial. 1 question though, how did you add the milling tool, the V bit ?
Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge, by the way what is the Raptor library or what kind of library should I use for the milling tool for the PCB, also the speeds that you program are specific to the tool you use?
Thank you very much
Thank you for the great tutorial, could show us how to mill two side PCB and how to mill the pads after putting on insulation mask.
Helpful videos, thanks!

Daniel- Please guide me which CNC milling machine you are using,
Try make PCB 2D then 3D PCB with circle closed trace, eg. for rotating part to transfer signals.
If you want to avoid drilling, you can also edit 2d countour -> Passes -> set Minimum Cutting Radius = 0. Also the hight of copper of 0.2mm is too much, because deep drilling messes geometry. I use autolevel + 0.1 mm depth and got very smooth lines.
