How to choose software for my new 5-axis CNC?

1

I’m in the process of obtaining a new 5-axis CNC, and I was a little shocked to find that the manufacturer (Laguna Tools) wouldn’t recommend a specific software package to run the machine. I’ve been learning modeling in Fusion 360, but I understand I also will need both “CAM” and Post-Processing software to communicate with the machine. Anyone have guidance or suggestions?

Here are some specs;
Controller: Fanuc 31iB5
Machine Axis: X Y Z A C W
Machine Configuration: Head-Head Horizontal

This topic is in the Fusion 360 forum and if anybody can help it would be there… They show a solution, I have not read it in detail so not sure if it will work for you. If not, ask the forum for help… Solved: NEED HELP WITH FANUC 5 AXIS POST PROCESSOR - Autodesk Community - Fusion 360
