A walk through on how to create slicers for data tables on mac's excel 2016. Trusted Windows (PC) download Slicer for Fusion 360 1.0.0. Virus-free and 100% clean download. Get Slicer for Fusion 360 alternative downloads.

  1. Built upon the 123 Make technology, Slicer for Fusion 360 is a free tool to slice and convert 3D models (US Site) into 2D patterns that can be cut flat. To help build a model, Slicer for Fusion 360 also creates 3D instructions you can interact with.
  2. Autodesk provides many native Mac products for 3D modeling, CAD, rendering, animation, VFX, and digital imagery. In addition, we provide full support for a number of products when used on the Mac in virtualized environments including Parallels Desktop and VMware Fusion.

There is an 'app store' for professional or community-built plugins as well.Several great extensions are collected here.

Edit in Browser

Fusion 360 supports editing inside the browser. This version of Fusion 360 does not yet have the full set of features, but might still be useful in case you can not install the desktop version.Log in with your Autodesk account and select 'Edit in browser' on any design or create a new project and select 'New => Fusion design'.

Multiplying Components

When you copy & paste a component, the copy will still be linked to it and mirrors all modificiations you make to another component of the same type.

In cases where this behavior is not desired, the best workaround seems to be saving a component as an individual file ('Save copy as') and inserting it to the design as a new component.[1] Unfortunately, there is no simple solution like SketchUp's 'make unique' feature in Fusion 360.

Slicer

Maybe you have used 'Autodesk 123D Make' before and were sad when it was discontinued - but with 'Slicer for Fusion', its functionality isn't lost!

With this tool you can 'slice' any 3D models into 2D parts (packed or with spacing) which you could cut out with your favorite machine and assemble them by means of glue and/or interlocking slots.

(not to be confused with Slicers for generating 3D printing pathways)

CNC Routing

Joinery

In contrast to a laser cutter, a CNC router can't cut perfect inside corners because the router bit is circular. To circumvent this issue, reliefs (so-called 'dogbones') are put into a design to allow the router bit to cut all the way. There are add-ons for Fusion 360 to help with the design of them.

Laser Cutting

You can export any sketch by right clicking it and choosing 'Save as DXF'.

Another option is to create a 'drawing' from your design and lay out the views in the corresponding window, but this is relatively complicated and only makes sense if you already want to arrange multiple pieces at this stage.

Assists you in printing 3D models and simplifies the whole process by offering you built-in printing profiles and the option to control almost every aspect of the procedure

3DimMaker is powerful software solution that aims to make it as easy as possible for you to print complex 3D models and, with the help of its “slicer” feature, to generate accurate G-code.

Getting to grips with this application is no big challenge since it comes with an intuitive user-interface that features large buttons and easy to understand functions.

Powerful application that features a straightforward workflow

In order to take advantage of 3DimMaker’s capabilities, obviously, you will have to make sure that your 3D printer is connected with your Mac and properly configured.

Subsequent to this step, you will need to either load the 3D model from a STL file and manipulate the object in the scene in order to determine a good position, as well as to adjust its dimensions with the help of the draggers located on the three axes.

From here onwards, you will have to specify the exact output options, like the extruder width, speed, and temperatures, the dump area and certain preheat settings.

Take full control over the process of printing three-dimensional objects

Mac

Probably the best feature is the fact that 3DimMaker bundles a robust slicer that optimizes generated G-code and uses complex solution for rendering high quality 3D models.

If the overall printing configuration process seems a little too complex, then rest assured because 3DimMaker comes with a collection with handy built-in printing profiles that have the potential to save you a lot of time.

Another plus is the fact that during the printing process, 3DimMaker automatically controls the temperature of the model so it doesn’t overheat. Also welcomed is the ability to manually change the temperature and other parameters during the printing process yourself.

Robust yet user-friendly software solution for 3D printing

Taking all things into consideration, it can be accurately stated that 3DimMaker is a competent and handy application that does a very good job of helping and assisting you in printing 3D models from STL files.
