First, it moved away from the tabbed experience and took advantage of the left side panel for easier navigation. This update introduced a major UX overhaul in the Additive Print Settings Editor. “And, to support the SLS printing workflow – Ozel added – we have exposed some basic automatic 3D packing functionality, as well.”Īmong other new AM-related functionalities Fusion 360 introduced a Unified Print Settings Editor for all types of additive processes. Yesterday, pretty much overnight, Fusion 360 became a slicer for stereolithography and laser sintering printers.

“About 2 years ago Fusion 360 became a slicer for FFF machines, by integrating the internally developed PrintStudio software and its capabilities,” Ozel explained.

Fusion 360 now can slice models for EOS SLS printers as well. “I n the past, it could not slice for SLA, it just exported models to Formlabs Preform software and was thus only able to support Formlabs’ printers.” Now Fusion 360 can slice for some of the most popular stereolithography printers on the market: starting with Prusa SL1S Speed, SL1S and Anycubic Photon Mono.Īnd that’s not all. “Fusion 360 can now do print prep for several SLA printers,” orient, support, and “slice,” said Sualp Ozel, Senior Product Manager at Autodesk. Among these something 3D printing users will find very useful: Fusion 360 is now capable of slicing parts specifically to be produced via SLA and SLS processes.

It is intended as a sort of “spring-cleaning update”, spanning from Cloud Credits becoming Flex Tokens, to new Drawings functionality, to a change in the Manufacture Workspace & Machining Extension, as well as a whole bunch of features graduating out of preview and becoming production-ready tools at your disposal.

The Fusion 360 March 2022 update, which Autodesk released yesterday, is one of the biggest of the year.
