Start printing directly from Fusion 360

Although many people are skeptical about the slicing functionality in Fusion 360, I have only been using it since its release (I think March 2020). In the next few articles, I want to tell you exactly what you need to do in order to get the G-code of your model directly from the fusion.

In the first part, I will outline the algorithm of actions for generating code in large blocks. Then we will do an interactive stream, and after that there will be one or more articles detailing the incomprehensible steps.

First, the model itself is needed. We assume that the part is already made, saved in one of the projects in the cloud and ready for printing.

Next we have to go into Manufacture mode, just click on Design and select Manufacture there. We will find ourselves in a new mode of operation with the same model.

Once again, an important thought - the model does not change, it is not transferred / uploaded / exported anywhere. The geometry remains the same, we just change the mode of working with it and the tools.

Cool fact #1 - printing from fusion makes it possible not to export / import the model, we do not divide the model into the "solid state for editing", "stl for printing" stages. Within the same system, we work with the same model with different tools. We simply switch between Design/Manufacture modes and, accordingly, alternately get model editing tools and code generation tools

After switching to Manufacture, the concept 9 becomes key for us0015 Setup . This thing is well known to those who work on CNC machines, and we also have to deal with it.

When we are preparing the print, in the setup we need to put together the following information: we set it by creating in the library (once) and then selecting (each time when creating a setup) our printer ( Machine ).

For other CNC systems, the Machine setting is optional, but for printing (i. e. additive operations) it is critical. All machine descriptions are stored in the library. The car needs to be created in advance, before creating the first setup, but next time you can just select it from the library.

The following is written in the machine:

  • the number and parameters of extruders
  • the presence of airflow model
  • table dimensions
  • where to park the head after printing
  • and, of course, the name and text description

In general, everything that describes the printer geometrically and gives an idea of ​​its maximum capabilities.

A good practice to create your own machine is to (1) take one of the already prepared descriptions (2) copy it to your library and (3) fix it to fit your needs.

The library, for example, already has Ender 3. If your printer is not there, then just copy the default " Autodesk Generic FFF Machine ".

In my case, the set of edits was minimal - table dimensions, parking coordinates and description.

The second part of the setup, "what to print" - is indicated in paragraph Model and there you can select the entire model, component (or several)

Important fact #2 - if you are printing a multi-part model, you need to make sure that each part is in its own component.If this is not done, then fusion will work with the entire group as with one part and you will not be able to lay out individual parts on the table.Positioning tools - Move, Arrange, Automatic Orientation and Place part on platform work only with 9 components0017

And finally, the third part of the setup, "with what settings to print" - this is called Print Settings and in organization this thing is very similar to Machine:

  • they also need to be done in advance, before creating the setup
  • they are also stored in the library
  • you can also take them from the default ones, copy them to yourself and fix them
  • you can also create as many as you need and then just select from the library

All print settings are stored in print settings:

  • temperatures
  • speeds
  • or not (and which ones) - BRAM, SKIRT, RAFT, support
  • Perimeters settings, filling
  • and so on, and so on
9000 9000
Important fact #3 - PRINT settings can be changed directly inside the setup, these changes only affect the current setup. For example, you have an ABS profile with temperatures/speeds, but in this model you want the speeds to be different - you can easily change the settings after creating the setup and do not spoil the profile stored in the library

In total, when you put all three parts together and created a setup, you get this element

After that, you shamelessly use all the available tools for positioning parts, among which there is a wonderful Automatic Orientation, which I will talk about someday later

You change the print settings for this setup as you like without fear of damaging the saved profiles

And most importantly, you must do two things.

First, generate an extruder path ( toolpath ) for a given setup (i.e. machine + model + settings) process (3) trajectory is ready

Naturally, this procedure must be done every time you change something in the settings or setup. The rule is very simple, we see an exclamation mark - it means we need to regenerate the trajectory.

And the second important thing - you check the resulting trajectory in the built-in simulator. P-time:

Two:

Remarkable fact #4 - you can create as many setups for your model as you like. This may be necessary, for example, if you print different parts with different settings, I do this when some need to be printed with supports, and some without. We simply create a new setup, select only those components in it that should fall into it and set our own settings in the setup

When you visually got what you need, only one step separates you from the G-code - post-processing .

The point is that the toolpath you see is not code yet. These are geometric lines, displaying the movement of the extruder, but not the code. The code is generated by a postprocessor, which is essentially a JavaScript program (but you don't need to understand these subtleties at all).

So, post-processing. When the toolpath is ready and you are satisfied, do this

Then like this:

Then like this

And that's it. Press Post, show where to put the file, save. The code is ready.

In a nutshell, what we just did:

  1. select the library of pre-installed post processors
  2. select the default "Generic FFF Machine" post from it
  3. upload the code through this post processor

This whole process can be made easier, faster, better, etc. - you can make your own postprocessor and put it in your own library; you can specify in the Machine settings which post to use for your printer and where exactly to put the files with the code. And so on.

There are a lot of opportunities to flexibly bend the process to your liking.

After creating all the setups and settings, don't forget to save, because there is

Cool Fact #5 - fusion printing makes it very easy to iterate. After creating the setups and checking the settings, we can switch to Design mode and edit the model. After returning to Manufacture, we just need to click Generate toolpath to get new toolpaths for the modified model.

In order to discuss all this, I will organize a stream, where I will additionally present a custom post-processor, in which it is possible to use a second extruder to print the model and flexibly set the percentage of airflow 😊

That's all for now. Write in the comments what is not clear, come to the stream, ask questions.

3 Useful 3D Printing Applications for Fusion 360

Additive Assistant tool for Fusion 360

You've probably already explored the 3D printing capabilities of Fusion 360, and if not, you're missing out. From FFF printing to metal powder additive manufacturing, Fusion 360 tools are evolving at a rapid pace, with even more new features coming towards the end of the year. Today, we're sharing three useful 3D printing apps available on the Autodesk App Store to help you take your additive manufacturing work to the next level.

Fusion 360 FFF Post Configurator

Download here

What it is: is an application that allows you to create and configure FFF post processors.

Who: for anyone who wants to customize their device settings for printing with preset custom messages.

How it works: you can easily load custom settings for printer platform temperature, heat-up timeout, fan speed and other options. Since the result of the configurator is a traditional JavaScript post-processor, advanced users will be able to modify it.

Addition: Check out the application's tutorial for more useful information about its features.

Autodesk Netfabb® for Autodesk® Fusion 360™

Download here

What it is: If you want to seamlessly transfer Fusion 360 models to Netfabb, this application will help make the process as easy as possible. In addition, with it you will be able to send all print settings to Netfabb and Netfabb Simulation, including printer selection, support data and placement of parts on the platform.

To whom: Of course, this application is for those who already have a Netfabb subscription. However, if you are using Fusion 360 and want to take your AM work to the next level, Netfabb is the perfect companion tool, providing many advanced features and capabilities for AM. Imagine that you started setting up metal powder printing with the Fusion 360 Additive build extension and manually edited the supports in Netfabb. With this application, you can easily transfer all your data from one program to another.

Addition: If you want to learn more about Netfabb, visit the product page on our website and don't forget to watch the video below.

Additive Assistant Tool

Download here

What it is: We've been saving the best for last. Additive Assistant Tool allows you to analyze models without leaving Fusion 360: the application analyzes overhang angles, potential distortion and stability problems, can determine the size of the part, and also talk about the impact of its production on the environment.

How it works: Download the application, select the object you want to analyze, and the tool will automatically highlight problem areas that need your attention or need to be changed before being sent to print.

For whom: Any specialist will confirm that the human factor does not disappear with age and experience. The Additive Assistant Tool is a must for anyone new to additive manufacturing in order to understand what pitfalls to avoid, as well as experienced users. Often there are situations when 3D printing is used to create a prototype, and in the future the real product will be produced in a completely different way. In these situations, the Additive Assistant Tool will help ensure that the part prints with as few problems as possible.
