Preface

As 3D printing is becoming mainstream, the demand for Computer-Aided Design (CAD) users with manufacturing knowledge is growing. You may have noticed that new capabilities around automated modeling, generative design, and additive manufacturing are now available in Autodesk Fusion. If you are interested in learning how you can benefit from these tools and improve your design and 3D-printing skills using Fusion, this book is for you.

In this book, you will learn how to open CAD and mesh files in Fusion, repair and edit them, and prepare them for 3D printing. In the context of print preparation, you will be introduced to print settings, support structures, and part orientation. The book will also highlight the various preferences of Fusion for additive manufacturing. In subsequent chapters, you will learn about choosing the right orientation and creating appropriate support structures based on printing technology and you will simulate the printing process to detect and remedy common print failures associated with the metal powder bed fusion process. This book will also cover how to arrange parts depending on the printing technology. By the end of this book, you will be acquainted with utilizing templates and scripts to automate common tasks around print preparation.

By the end of this book, you will have gained all the knowledge necessary to use Fusion for additive manufacturing.
