G-code optimization was created by mighty_mick
Hello.
I wanna reduce my part processing time by optimizing generated g-code. Currently i am using Fusion360 as CAM program. I've seen some optimizers that says we save %20 of your time. For complex pieces, it would be very useful to save any time.
Do you guys know any G-code optimizer as i mentioned? I need it to save time in context described below:
1- By increasing the feed rate of unnecessary movements. (Returning to first position without processing the piece, free movements)
2- By eliminating free moves as much as possible
I would appreciate any information.
Thank you.

I've generally considered such things as being part of the CAM program itself. The better the CAM program, the more optimal the tool pathing. I have not used Fusion 360 so can't comment on the efficiency of the code it tends to generate. But considering the source I wouldn't be surprised if it were purposely inefficient, and more efficient options are pricey upgrades.
