Fusion 360 and 3D Printing—Tips and Tricks for a Successful Workflow

This instructional demo will show you how to take your ideas to reality through the use of design in Fusion 360 software, and how to utilize 3D printing to manufacture your idea. 3D printing (or additive manufacturing) is a great technology not only for prototyping, but also for all the way through to end-use components in industry. 3D printing is now easily affordable for the everyday user, and it can be difficult to know where to start. This talk will show you how to get started with Fusion 360, introduce some different types of 3D printing with the focus on fused filament fabrication (FFF), then go on to cover some common mistakes when using 3D-printing technology and how to avoid them.
