DATRON Dynamics Application Technician, Adrian Montero won the Autodesk Fusion 360 CAM Challenge in the Category of Best Surface Finish. His part was machined on the DATRON neo, compact high-speed milling machine.

Appropriately named the AUTODESK Fusion 360 CAM Challenge, participants were asked to produce a Fusion logo made into a key chain. Autodesk supplied all participants with the same file in their software. There were only 3 requirements to the CAM Challenge:

Use Autodesk Fusion 360 to program
Take a photo of yourself programming the part
Supply a photo of the final end product
