Unlock advanced manufacturing capabilities for 3- to 5-axis CNC machining, nesting and fabrication, and metal-based additive manufacturing .

Exporting the build to a file for manufacturing on a machine. For more information on the workflows for different AM technologies, see Workflow: Preparing parts for additive manufacturing .

Use the inspection functions in the Manufacture workspace to inspect parts before, during, and after the manufacturing process.

On the Define tab, click Design Criteria > Manufacturing . The Manufacturing dialog opens.

Create and edit a manufacturing model in the Manufacture workspace to help with creating manufacturing operations, without affecting the original model in the Design workspace.

Learn how to create Setups and Manufacturing Models for Configurations in the Manufacture workspace in Fusion.

Use the Manufacture workspace inside Fusion to go from a design model to a programmed part that is ready for manufacture .

It is the first thing you create in the Manufacture workspace and is used to contain manufacturing operations.

Simulation in the Manufacture workspace enables you to visualize and validate various manufacturing processes, including milling, drilling, turning, inspection probing, cutting, and direct energy deposition (DED) additive manufacturing .

By using machine definitions, you can optimize your manufacturing processes and simulate machine movements with greater accuracy.

Fusion Manufacturing Extension This feature is part of an extension.

Table assembly Components arranged in a single sheet Note: You can arrange components in the Design workspace by enabling Arrange and Simplify tools, or in the Manufacture workspace using Manufacturing models.

Tip: Hold the Ctrl key to multiselect operations. On the Manufacture workspace toolbar, click Actions > Simulate with Machine or Actions > Simulate .

Making and Resetting Parameter Defaults In the Manufacture workspace, Fusion provides working default values for each of the strategy parameters found in the Operation dialog.

Parameter Details Orientation Sets the 3D printing build direction parallel to the X, Y, or Z axis of the Global Coordinate System.
