Tutorial: Additive MJF

This tutorial guides you through setting up, duplicating, and arranging components for additive MJF (multi-jet fusion) printing using Fusion, ensuring efficient use of the printer’s build volume. MJF is a powder-bed-fusion technology ideal for high-volume production.

In this tutorial, you:

• Open the sample file containing the components.

• Create an additive MJF setup and select a printer.

• Duplicate the components to ensure there are enough for an efficient print, maximizing the use of the printer’s build volume.

• Arrange the components inside the printer’s build volume to optimize their placement and packing.

• Check the arrangement statistics to verify the components are packed efficiently.

• Fill the build volume with more components to use any remaining empty space, increasing productivity.

• Check the arrangement statistics again to confirm that the new arrangement is still optimized.
