Mizarstvo Grošelj is a family-owned solid surface fabricator based in Slovenia, with more than 25 years of experience working with Kerrock and Corian materials. The eight-person team — including three family members — has built a strong reputation for high-quality craftsmanship and worldwide installation. In recent years the company has been expanding into the nautical and camping sectors, where complex geometry and tight tolerances are the norm.
The Challenge: No CAD/CAM Software for Complex Designs
Despite their expertise, Mizarstvo Grošelj managed their entire design and production process without dedicated CAM software. When the team invested in a new 5-axis CNC machine, the gap became impossible to ignore. Designing and programming complex Kerrock shapes manually led to longer lead times, higher error rates, and increased production costs.
“Last year we bought a 5-axis CNC. We checked all possibilities on the market and found Fusion 360 as the right software for our needs. That is why we chose your PP.” — Owner, Mizarstvo Grošelj
The company evaluated SolidWorks and Powermill but concluded that Autodesk Fusion — combined with a purpose-built post-processor from CCSOFTCZ — offered the best price-to-performance ratio for their specific situation.
The Solution: Autodesk Fusion + CCSOFTCZ Post-Processor
Mizarstvo Grošelj implemented Autodesk Fusion as their primary CAD/CAM platform. Autodesk Fusion is a cloud-based product design and development environment that provides a comprehensive toolset for 3D CAD, CAM, simulation, visualisation, and team collaboration — making it particularly well suited to manufacturers who need to move quickly from design to production.
The critical link between Autodesk Fusion and the company’s SCM CNC machine was the CCSOFTCZ Morbidelli post-processor. Without a correctly tuned post-processor, the toolpaths generated in Autodesk Fusion would not produce valid G-code for the machine controller. CCSOFTCZ developed and fine-tuned a dedicated .cps JavaScript post-processor that handles all machine-specific requirements, including the 5-axis kinematics.
Implementation
The rollout was straightforward. CCSOFTCZ worked closely with the Mizarstvo Grošelj team to integrate the software into their existing workflow and ensure seamless communication between Autodesk Fusion and the SCM machine. The user-friendly interface of Autodesk Fusion shortened the learning curve significantly, and the team was productive in a short time.
Finding CCSOFTCZ was equally quick:
“Simple — I needed just 2 minutes to find your company. ‘Morbidelli F360 PP’ was enough.”
Results
The impact was immediate and measurable across the entire production workflow:
- 5-axis machining without limitations — complex Kerrock shapes that were previously impossible or extremely time-consuming to program can now be produced reliably.
- Reduced errors — parametric CAD design eliminates manual calculation mistakes.
- Shorter lead times — programming that once took hours is now completed in minutes directly from the 3D model.
- Higher product complexity — the team can take on more demanding projects in nautical and camping fitouts.
- Improved visualisation — high-quality renders help win new business and align expectations with clients before production starts.
“At the first point — smiles on our faces. Your PP makes everything easier. Everything works perfectly and our main goal is reached. We can work 5-axis without any problem. We are better, faster and more accurate now. We can produce more difficult products in less time.” — Owner, Mizarstvo Grošelj
Conclusion
For Mizarstvo Grošelj, adopting Autodesk Fusion with a CCSOFTCZ post-processor was not just a software upgrade — it was a production transformation. The company is now better equipped to compete in demanding markets, deliver complex solid surface products faster, and continue expanding into new sectors without being held back by manual programming limitations.
