Setup tab (additive) reference

Operation Type Additive

Additive setups do not require a work coordinate system or the stock. You should, however, set +Z to Up through the ViewCube. Also, any post-processors, if applicable, are set in print settings.

Machine

Opens the Machine Library, where you can select the additive machine you want to use. In the Machine Library, selecting an additive machine from the Fusion Library folder, or from one of the My Machines folders, copies the additive machine to the Document folder.

Note: You can edit machines that are in one of the My Machines folders or in the Document folder.

Print Settings

Opens the Print Setting Library, where you can select a set of print settings, which are a collection of parameters used for toolpath generation. In the Print Setting Library, selecting print settings from the Fusion Library folder, or from one of the My Machines folders, copies the print settings to the Document folder.

Operation type

Specifies the manufacturing process. This is set automatically based on the machine type you select.

Manufacturing Model

Associates the active manufacturing model with the setup.

If only the < Default > manufacturing model exists, Fusion creates a manufacturing model.

Model

Specifies the models to be added to this setup. Setups must always contain at least one model. It is recommended to work with components as models instead of bodies.
