How to export an STL file from an imported mesh file

Technical Support

Issue:

You want to know how to export an STL file from an imported mesh file. This differs a bit from the process of creating an STL file from a body within Fusion 360. 

Environment:

This article applies to the operating systems listed. If your operating system is not shown, it may be because it is not supported or because support information is not yet available. For details on operating systems no longer supported by the vendor, see Product Support Lifecycle.

Solution:

  1. Open a new blank design in Fusion.
  2. Go to the Insert Menu, select Insert Mesh and open the mesh file.
  3. Make any modifications necessary.
  4. Go to the browser tree and expand the bodies folder until you see the mesh body.
  5. Right-click the Mesh body and select Save as STL.
