    Fabrication process

    Fabrication is a manufacturing process that cuts 2D profiles from sheets of material using technologies such as laser cutters, water jets, and plasma cutters.

    Using the 2D Profile cutting strategy within Fusion, you can program manufacturing operations for 2-axis machines that do not use rotary cutting tools. Machine code, for example a G-Code file, instructs the tool's movements.
