Description
In this class, Autodesk and GKN Aerospace will present how you can use Autodesk Fusion 360 software as a start-to-finish powerhouse for metal additive design and manufacturing. Starting with generative design, we can quickly explore possible print orientations and material possibilities, and build in automated design for additive manufacturing (DfAM) best practices to create designs that are optimized for structural performance, while minimizing the amount of required post processing. Once a design is selected, we’ll show how we can use the Additive Build Extension in Autodesk Fusion 360 to quickly create highly customizable support templates to generate intelligent support setups with a single click, and export directly to a powder bed additive printer for manufacturing.
Key Learnings
- Learn how to use generative design to create highly optimized parts that take full advantage of the design freedom 3D printing provides.
- Learn how to reduce time spent on post-processing tasks like support removal with automated design for additive manufacturing (DFAM).
- Learn how to create highly customizable and efficient support structures in a single click using both in-built and manual templates.
- Learn about exporting and printing directly on metal powder additive machines using the capabilities of Autodesk Fusion 360 software’s Additive Build Extension.
