ManufacturingModels.createInput Method

Create a new ManufacturingModelInput object. Use properties and methods on this object to define the ManufacturingModel you want to create and then use the Add method, passing in the ManufacturingModelInput object.

Syntax

Python
C++

"manufacturingModels_var" is a variable referencing a ManufacturingModels object.returnValue = manufacturingModels_var.createInput()

"manufacturingModels_var" is a variable referencing a ManufacturingModels object.

#include <Cam/ManufacturingModels/ManufacturingModels.h>

returnValue = manufacturingModels_var->createInput();

Samples

Additive Manufacturing FFF API Sample

Demonstrates how to automate the creation of an additive FFF manufacturing setup and generate a toolpath.

To run the sample script, have a design with one or more components open in Fusion’s DESIGN workspace. This script will switch the UI from the DESIGN workspace to the MANUFACTURE workspace, create a new Manufacturing Model, and create an Additive setup using that manufacturing model as an input.

The setup will select an FFF 3D printer from Fusion’s machine library and a print setting from the print setting library. All components in the Manufacturing model will be automatically oriented and arranged within the build area of the selected FFF machine. This script will also create support structures, if required, based on the orientation of each component. Finally, the script generates and simulates the additive toolpath for the active setup.

Additive Manufacturing MJF API Sample

Demonstrates how to automate the creation of an additive MJF manufacturing setup and arrange components within the build volume of a 3D printer.

The setup will select an MJF 3D printer from Fusion’s machine library and a print setting from the print setting library. All components in the Manufacturing model will be automatically arranged within the build volume of the selected MJF machine.

Additive Manufacturing SLA API Sample

Demonstrates how to automate the creation of an additive SLA manufacturing setup.

The setup will select a SLA 3D printer from Fusion’s machine library and a print setting from the print setting library. All components in the Manufacturing model will be automatically oriented and arranged within the build area of the selected SLA machine. This script will also create support structures, based on the orientation of each component.

The support and orientation operations are created from a template. The script further demonstrates how to wrap script code into a command such that only one undo entry is created for the entire script instead of one entry per internal action.
