The machines themselves print, not from the STL snapshot but rather, from the G-code referencing this STL snapshot.įusion 360 aims to address the issue of multiple disassociated references with associative design and manufacturing data. It’s important to remember, a 3D printer doesn’t use this STL reference. STL files force users to export information from CAD to a slicer, only for the sake of manufacturing, creating a temporary and static STL revision of the parent geometry. One of the last places where manufacturing remains stuck in a reference-plagued waterfall workflow is Additive. Design, engineering, simulation, electronics, prototyping, and manufacturing are all possible within Fusion 360, and our primary intention has always been to make these various data threads associative.

With that first launch, Fusion 360 integrated SLA additive manufacturing capabilities, giving users deeper control over their Formlabs machines, with customization of baseplates, a variety of support material strategies, and the ability to push PreForm files.įusion 360 has, from day one been a product of convergence, bringing all the various elements of making products into one space.

You may remember back in June of 2021 Autodesk Fusion 360 and Formlabs announced a partnership to bring our respective technologies together into a cohesive manufacturing workflow.
