Previously, this feature was found only in certain slicing software, but now you can do it in Fusion 360, too. This allows the operator to insert nuts or other components in mid-print, or change filament colors. Pausing a 3D print job in Fusion 360 įusion 360’s job preparation function can now insert pauses into FFF 3D print jobs. This library now includes print settings for each machine as Autodesk develops them. Based on the machines I can see, it’s very likely any machine you have is included. The list is so extensive that they only display the first 75 or so on their website. There are other support structure enhancements, such as the ability to specify the support taper angle, as shown above.įusion 360 now includes machine definitions for a few more 3D printers, including:įusion 360’s machine library now contains definitions for a huge number of 3D printers.

This should speed up workflows, as apparently many people are using the tool for FFF job development.Īutodesk has now included a series of support “templates” that can be used to start creating complex support structures for both SLA and PBF 3D printing processes.
They’ve also changed the automatic orientation study results to naturally ranked for FFF devices. This feature should enable larger prints to occur more reliably. I’ve not seen this capability in other tools, no doubt because other tools don’t understand the volume and weight of a part in the same way that Autodesk Fusion 360 does. There are plenty of ways to orient a part for printing, but now you can do so with a “center of gravity height” approach. That should make workflow a bit easier when using this feature.Īnother new additive feature is an option for the automatic orientation function. Previously it required a couple of plugins, but now it’s been merged into their existing Additive Build extension. This allows a designer of an additive part to “test” the design before printing in Fusion 360.Īutodesk has also simplified use of their Additive Simulation function. This means that one could design a part and then simulate mechanical and other stresses on the design when printed in those specific materials. The important thing to know here is that once in the library, they can be used for many functions within Fusion 360, and that includes simulation.
