3D printing with metal powder bed fusion machines

MPBF is a fully supported additive manufacturing technology in Fusion 360 for 3D printing parts with metal powders. Fusion 360’s Machine Library currently has MPBF printers from the following nine machine makers: Aconity, Additive Industries, DMG Mori, EOS, Kurtz Ersa, One Click Metal, Renishaw, SLM Solutions, and Xact Metal. Having access to the Additive Build extension is a prerequisite to creating an additive setup with an MPBF 3D printer from any of these machine providers.

In addition to these nine machine makers, you can also use the Autodesk Generic MPBF machine to create an additive setup, as shown in Figure 12.7. After creating the setup and arranging your parts on the build platform, assuming you do not need support structures, you can generate the necessary machine files for 3D printers, which can utilize generic file formats such as SLC and CLI. You can access the Create Machine Build File command from the ACTIONS...
