Description
Generative Design opens up new solution spaces because there is more than one way to solve problems. Fusion software’s powerful CAM tools have been extended by additive manufacturing (AM) capabilities to enable workflows directly from design to additive, subtractive, or hybrid production of parts. This class will show an example workflow to apply subtractive preparations, add support structures, and calculate the toolpath for an Aconity Metal AM machine with a generatively designed model—all inside Fusion software. Metal AM processes produce parts of limited surface quality that need subtractive postprocessing. Putting data in the center allows for exploring design options, adding offsets/stock for milling, and calculating laser paths in the same software.
Key Learnings
- Understand additive manufacturing features in Fusion
- Learn how to apply laser strategies for models in Fusion Manufacture
- Understand additive and subtractive workflows
- Learn how to apply stock for subtractive postprocessing

- TKTobias KlimkaitTobias Klimkait studied mechanical engineering focusing on medical technology at RWTH University Aachen. He worked at Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology in the field of process development for Additive Manufacturing processes of resorbable implant materials. Since 2016, he directs the areas of consulting and testing facilities for Aconity3D GmbH, which in addition to consulting, material distribution and implementation of customer-specific Laser Beam Melting solutions offers on-demand part manufacturing. Beside his work in consultancy, Tobias Klimkait is in charge of managing different development projects. Main focus of his development work is process and material development for Laser Beam Melting.
