3D Printing with Fusion 360: Design for additive manufacturing, and level up your simulation and print preparation skills

As additive manufacturing continues to evolve, the demand for CAD users with manufacturing knowledge is on the rise. This book perfectly addresses this need, providing an in-depth exploration of Autodesk Fusion 360's capabilities in the context of 3D printing.It highlights the relevance of automated modeling, generative design, and additive manufacturing within Fusion 360. The author skillfully navigates readers through the process of opening CAD and mesh files, repairing and editing them, and preparing for 3D printing. The coverage extends to essential elements such as print settings, support structures, and part orientation, making it an all-encompassing guide.Having been part of a research laboratory specializing in additive manufacturing, particularly in material extrusion (fused filament fabrication), I found the content to be not only relevant but really enriching.What sets this book apart is its completeness. The incorporation of tips, tricks, and practical advice makes it a go-to reference for both beginners and seasoned users. The language is clear, and the step-by-step instructions are easy to follow.A great book to have and an amazing resource!

Excellent material. Helped me figure out how to navigate Fusion360 better.

I work for Autodesk. I use Fusion 360 every day to help students at Penn State get better at design.For these reasons, I have a vested interest in making sure content about Fusion 360 is satisfactory. This book definitely is.This guide is detailed and immensely helpful for anyone looking to use Fusion 360 for Additive Manufacturing. There are several tutorials that give the user practical experience with using the various tools in Fusion 360, including meshing, generative design, and simulation.Even if you are experienced with Design for Additive Manufacturing, this is still a great tool to use, as it is useful for developing communication and teaching skills for this software as well.My favorite aspect of this book is its realistic nature. Most of the sample design projects demonstrate design changes that accurately represent an actual engineering project. Edits to accommodate design considerations are shown, and an element of experimentation with various design outcomes is clearly highlighted. This gives the book a great balance between realism and idealism that makes it a five-star book from my perspective.

This book condenses what would be many years of trial and error into a simple easy to read and useful guidebook. I especially loved the "design rules for 3D printing" chapter as it outlines the limitations of each method of 3D printing and teaches you best practices. 10/10 I would recommend to anyone just starting out and even to professionals who need a refresher.

A perfect resource for anyone seeking to learn how to design functional parts for 3D printing in a structured manner. Usually, referring to online video guides and tutorials isn't ideal, as the content is disorganized. This book teaches you a systematic approach to understanding design principles for 3D printing - from importing CAD files in Fusion 360 to positioning the component and setting up slicing and 3D printing parameters.I particularly liked the emphasis on metal additive manufacturing in the book's concluding chapters, as metal AM is an emerging 3D printing technology in the aerospace/automotive industry. Highly recommend this book as an exhaustive resource for design engineers.

Fusion 360 caters to a diverse audience, including 3D printing enthusiasts in academia, hobbyists, and engineers specializing in aerospace parts. Sualp Ozel's adept guidance seamlessly simplifies intricate concepts, turning them into a user-friendly adventure. This book is a must-have addition to your library, offering a comprehensive learning experience that allows you to grasp 3D printing with Fusion 360 in a single lesson.

This is a very detailed book in regards to this topic. Covers many aspects of useful tools in fusion 360 for 3d printing.Important thing to note some tools maybe available in the professional version only but that's not a reflection of this book.This book is a great reference.

The book looks like a well-rounded guide on 3D printing via Fusion 360, helping the reader to get a basic understanding of the process.
