Autodesk Fusion for 3D printing
Fusion combines parametric 3D design with manufacturing tools. Use it to model a part, export a mesh and prepare the result in your preferred slicer.
Its 3D Print command supports formats including STL and 3MF. Confirm current features and availability for your plan and device.
Prepare a Fusion model for printing
- Choose the body. Right-click a component, group or body in the browser and select Save As Mesh.
- Select a file format. Choose STL or 3MF and review the mesh settings. More refinement can make curved surfaces smoother but increases file size.
- Check the export. Open the file in your slicer, confirm the dimensions and units, then set orientation and support as needed for your printer.
Fusion also offers a 3D Print command for exporting or sending a body to a compatible print utility. Workflow and menu labels can vary by version.
