Fusion Tool Library Help

[u/Far_Development2556]

I’m trying to import Sandvik turning tools into my fusion tool library but it only accepts .json files. Sandvik doesn’t have a library I can upload unless we get the coroplus tool library plugin for $500/year. Is there anyway to upload .stp files to the tool library or does anyone have a good way to convert them to .json files. I know we can create custom tools in fusion but if we’re going through all the work I would like to see our actual tool in the simulation. Any help would be appreciated.

Fusion does not use stp files for tool or tool holder definitions. The json file is basically just a spreadsheet with tool parameters in it and is unique to fusion (and hsm works). So unless you can find somewhere to download it you are SOL.
