More importantly though, Fusion 360’s additive manufacturing workspace essentially eliminates the need to create STLs for manufacturing by enabling you to push your data directly to your additive machine’s control software/slicer. Already a high-performing 3D CAD tool for collaborating with others, the Additive Manufacturing Extension for Fusion 360 accelerates the AM phase of a project by folding additive experts into your workflow. In addition, Fusion 360 includes simulation tools that show you how your part will be made and assistive plugins to avoid mistakes before they happen.īringing these features over to additive manufacturing really expedites getting things made, opening you up to minimal file management and seamless collaboration with others. I can hear you asking, “Why would I want to use an additive manufacturing space when I have a dedicated slicer for my machine?” Excellent question! When using Fusion 360 for machining, you have the advantages of fully associative design and manufacturing data, so you can set up your manufacturing model once, then regenerate toolpaths any time you make a change to the design.
The State of Desktop Additive ManufacturingĪutodesk and Formlabs are teaming up! You may not have noticed just yet, but Autodesk Fusion 360 has an expansive additive manufacturing workspace designed to help prototyping, researchers, additive engineers, designers and everyone else get the most control over their 3D printers.įusion 360’s additive manufacturing space is already a feature-rich space for FFF machines, with posts available for major manufacturers, along with fine support controls, assistive tools to avoid errors when printing, and even custom post configurators. Get more from your CAD and your hardware by bringing manufacturing to your design.
