01 / Compatibility
The model name is only the starting point.
SCM machines with the same commercial name can differ in Maestro generation, Xilog environment, kinematics, tool database and aggregates. These are common project families, not a promise of universal plug-and-play support.
| SCM family | Typical configuration | Target workflow | Before delivery |
|---|---|---|---|
| Accord | 3- or 5-axis, routing and aggregates | Fusion → XCS → Maestro | Individual confirmation |
| Record | 3- or 5-axis machining centre | Fusion → XCS → Maestro | Individual confirmation |
| Pratix | Panel routing and drilling | Fusion → XCS → Maestro | Individual confirmation |
| Morbidelli M100 / N100 | Drilling, routing and panel operations | Fusion → XCS → Maestro | Individual confirmation |
| Author | Legacy and newer Xilog/Maestro setups | Workflow confirmed from samples | Individual confirmation |
| Tech Z5 | 5-axis head and machine kinematics | Machine definition + XCS output | Individual confirmation |
Compatibility is confirmed from the machine model, serial/configuration, Maestro or Xilog version, axis arrangement, installed aggregates and a proven machine program. New output must always be tested safely on the actual machine.
02 / Workflow
A controlled route from CAM to the shop floor.
The deliverable is not a generic file with your logo added. The output is configured and checked against the information you provide.
Post configuration
Fusion properties, cycles, tool calls and XCS structure are aligned with your workflow.
Output verification
You compare generated operations in Maestro and test safely on real material and tooling.
Handover and support
You receive the CPS post, setup guidance and direct support for the agreed configuration.
03 / Technical scope
What the project can include.
The final scope is written into the quotation. Functions outside that scope are assessed before development, not silently assumed.
- 01Fusion CPS postprocessor
Configured properties and output rules for the agreed machine. - 02Structured XCS output
Operations remain readable inside Maestro instead of becoming an anonymous block of generic G-code. - 03Machining operations
Drilling, routing, contours, pockets, sawing and aggregate work where supported by the configuration. - 04Multi-axis setup
Rotary-axis and 5-axis behaviour based on the real machine kinematics and Fusion machine definition. - 05Validation support
A defined test loop using your files, tools and machine-side checks.

04 / Technical difference
What makes this XCS postprocessor different?
The value is not the file extension alone. It is how Fusion data is translated into a readable, machine-specific SCM workflow.
Native SCM Maestro operations
Structured XCS machining operations remain readable and editable in Maestro instead of becoming a generic NC code stream.
Fusion operation names
Names from Autodesk Fusion can be transferred into the SCM program, making larger jobs easier to understand and maintain.
Machine-side XYZ corrections
Where supported, configurable X, Y and Z correction variables allow minor adjustments in the SCM environment without regenerating every Fusion program.
PGM / PGMX workflow
Compatible installations can include automatic conversion of generated XCS data into the required PGM or PGMX format.
Aggregates and advanced machining
The configured scope can include drilling blocks, saw aggregates, angle heads, indexed 3+2 and simultaneous 5-axis strategies.
05 / Experience
Built from real production questions, not a generic software catalogue.
The strongest evidence is the combination of public technical work, customer installations and direct access to the person who develops the post.
Pith & Stem moved complex furniture work from manual machine programming into a Fusion-based workflow.
The project connected Autodesk Fusion CAM with an SCM machining centre and created a repeatable path from design changes to machine output.

This walkthrough shows how the updated postprocessor generates native operations for SCM Xilog Maestro instead of an anonymous block of standard code.
06 / Pricing
A visible starting point. A quote based on the machine.
Pricing stays public so you can qualify the project. The final amount is confirmed only after the technical assessment.
3-axis licence
from€1,350- Machine-specific CPS configuration
- Drilling, routing, pockets and contours
- Agreed XCS workflow
- Setup guidance and email support
5-axis licence
from€2,300- Everything in the agreed 3-axis scope
- Rotary-axis or 5-axis kinematics
- Compound-angle and surface operations
- Machine-definition and validation support
Prices are billed in EUR. The final scope and price depend on the machine, Maestro/Xilog version, kinematics, aggregates and required operations. Taxes, on-site commissioning and work outside the agreed scope are quoted separately where applicable.
07 / Technical answers
Questions to resolve before ordering.
Clear boundaries make the first test safer and the quotation more accurate.
Does this work with every SCM machine?
No universal post should be assumed to work with every SCM configuration. Compatibility is checked from the exact machine and software information before an offer is confirmed.
What information should I send?
The machine model and configuration, Maestro or Xilog version, number and arrangement of axes, installed aggregates, typical operations and one proven machine program if available.
What output does the postprocessor create?
The target is structured XCS output for the agreed Maestro/Xilog workflow. If your machine requires an additional PGM or PGMX conversion step, that workflow is assessed separately.
Is 5-axis machining supported?
Yes. Indexed 3+2 and simultaneous 5-axis machining can be supported when included in the quotation and when the real machine kinematics, control configuration and Fusion machine definition are available.
How is a new post tested?
Start with simulation and a simple test part, review the output in Maestro, use safe heights and reduced feeds, and validate each operation on the real machine before production use.
Is the price fixed?
The displayed amounts are starting prices. You receive a clear quotation after the compatibility assessment defines the required functions and test scope.
Does this post processor work with Fusion 360?
Yes. Autodesk Fusion is the current name of the product previously known as Fusion 360. The postprocessor is developed for the current Autodesk Fusion CAM environment.
What is the difference from the free SCM post in the Autodesk Post Library?
This is a machine-specific integration for customers who require support for their actual SCM configuration, Maestro or Xilog workflow, aggregates, drilling units, machine kinematics and advanced machining requirements.
Do I still need SCM Maestro?
That depends on the machine and workflow. The postprocessor generates machining data from Autodesk Fusion, while Maestro or the existing SCM environment may still be used for machine-side processing, validation or file conversion.
Can the postprocessor generate PGM or PGMX files?
Where supported by the customer's SCM installation, the workflow can include conversion from XCS into the required PGM or PGMX format.
Does it support drilling blocks and aggregates?
Support can include drilling units, saw aggregates, angle heads and other SCM-specific equipment, depending on the machine configuration and quoted scope.
