This is v1.0 of Formlabs integration with Fusion 360. Giving control to you, the user, doesn’t end here. The new Auto Orient feature will give you the ability to set your priorities, then review a number of options before sending to print. For instance, maybe you want support structures to have a higher priority over the footprint of the setup, or maybe the inverse, or something entirely different. Auto Orient in Fusion 360 provides you granular control over what your priorities are for orientation. The Formlabs partnership also brings some quality-of-life features to speed up your time to printing. This partnership will also be extended to Formlabs SLS machines in the near future also! Autodesk Fusion 360’s new partnership with Formlabs gives you more control over your prints

Keeping the manufacturing data connected to the design data eliminates the need to constantly create new STLs in order to print.Īutodesk Fusion 360’s partnership with Formlabs brings these advantages to the full range of Formlabs SLA machines, giving you granular control over support structures, baseplates, and enabling you to push straight to a form file (with direct-to-PreForm coming soon). 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.
