Editing CAD/Mesh Files with DFAM Principles in Mind

Welcome to Chapter 2. In this chapter, we will cover how to edit CAD/Mesh models with various Design for Additive Manufacturing (DFAM) principles in mind. We will start by highlighting how to switch on/off the design history. We will demonstrate the differences in workflow when using parametric versus direct modeling. We will then demonstrate how to automatically detect features for imported CAD models. Then, we will go over how to edit both CAD and mesh bodies based on DFAM principles. We will conclude the chapter by showcasing how to convert mesh files into solid bodies that can be further modified for manufacturing.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

Introduction to design history with Fusion 360
Recognizing CAD features and editing them
Working with Mesh files natively in Fusion 360

By the end of this chapter, you will have learned how to work with models using parametric and direct...
