3D Printing with Fusion 360: Design for additive manufacturing, and level up your simulation and print preparation skills

Improve your Autodesk Fusion competence around 3D printing workflows by learning how to repair broken STLs, design for additive manufacturing, position and support parts, and slice them

Key Features:

• Use Autodesk Fusion to import and repair external designs and create native lightweight designs for 3D printing
• Master the setup of 3D printing within Fusion's Manufacture workspace
• Gain insights into the different 3D printing technologies and the unique print preparation steps for their effective use
• Purchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBook

Book Description:

As 3D printing gains traction, the demand for CAD experts in manufacturing grows. If you're a fan of Autodesk Fusion and crave hands-on experience with automated modeling, generative design, and the full potential of additive manufacturing, this book is your guide to elevating your design and 3D printing skills.

In this book, you'll learn how to open CAD or Mesh files in Fusion and expertly repair, edit, and prepare them for 3D printing. You'll unlock the secrets of effective print preparation, learning about print settings, support structures, and part orientation. This book also highlights Fusion's diverse preferences designed specifically for additive manufacturing.

Subsequent chapters will guide you in choosing the right part orientation and position, as well as creating suitable support structures based on your chosen printing technology. You'll simulate the printing process to detect and remedy common print failures associated with the metal powder bed fusion process. Finally, you'll leverage templates and scripts to automate routine tasks around print preparation.

By the end of this 3D printing book, you'll be armed with the knowledge and skills necessary to harness the power of Fusion for additive manufacturing, meeting the growing demand with confidence.

What You Will Learn:

• Use Autodesk Fusion to open, inspect, repair, and edit externally created designs for 3D printing
• Set up your 3D prints for different printing technologies, such as FFF, SLA/DLP, SLS, and MPBF
• Use templates to automate your additive operations, including part orientation, arrangement, and support
• Run process simulation for metal powder bed fusion and learn how to compensate for common print failure modes
• Optimize Fusion 360's preferences for 3D printing
• Export machine-specific file formats for 3D printing, such as G-Code, SLI, SLC, and CLI

Who this book is for:

If you're a designer using Autodesk Fusion on a daily basis and want to delve into 3D printing or craft functional, lightweight prints, this book is your go-to. It's also a valuable reference for intermediate-level Fusion users seeking insights into DFAM (design for additive manufacturing) and print preparation.

To get the most out of this book, it's recommended that you have a good understanding of Fusion's design features, familiarity with opening CAD or MESH files, and prior experience creating components in Fusion.
