Samples

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.

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 Arrange using that manufacturing model as an input.

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.

Create CAM Operation From Template API Sample

Demonstrates adding a new toolpath into the document using an existing CAM template. You can view the template here, although it will be loaded automatically. Run the sample script within any Fusion project containing at least one setup. A new facing operation will be created at the end of each setup discovered.

CAM Parameter Modification API Sample

Demonstrates changing parameters of existing toolpaths.

Before running: Use a design with CAM data as required by the script. Many CAM samples switch to the MANUFACTURE workspace and may need an existing setup or manufacturing model.

Generate Setup Sheets API Sample

Demonstrates generating the setup sheets for an existing toolpath.

Before running: Run from Scripts and Add-Ins. This sample may open dialogs or require interactive choices; keep Fusion in the foreground. Use a design with CAM data as required by the script. Many CAM samples switch to the MANUFACTURE workspace and may need an existing setup or manufacturing model.

Generate Toolpaths API Sample

Demonstrates generating the toolpaths in the active document.

Post Toolpaths API Sample

Demonstrates posting toolpaths in the active document using an NC program: import a post configuration from the post library, choose which setups or operations to include, set NC program and post parameters, and run NCProgram.postProcess.

Before running: Run from Scripts and Add-Ins with a design that contains at least one CAM setup with toolpaths. The script prompts for what to post (all setups, first setup, or first operation) and optionally opens the NC file when complete. It may offer to switch to the MANUFACTURE workspace.
