3D Printing with Metal Printers

Welcome to Chapter 12, where we will learn all about metal additive manufacturing. Metal 3D printing has been increasing in popularity over the past several years as it offers a long list of benefits for numerous industries, such as aerospace, healthcare, and high-end consumer goods. Using metal 3D printing, you can create parts with complex internal structures and organic external faces, which are impossible to manufacture any other way. 3D printing with metal is also more cost-effective compared to other manufacturing methods for low quantities.

Fusion 360, along with the Additive Build extension, can be utilized to create additive setups with 3D printers that are capable of manufacturing parts using metals. In this chapter, we will introduce the various ways you can use metal additive manufacturing within Fusion 360. We will go over how to utilize Fusion 360 to prepare a model to be 3D printed using fused filament fabrication, metal binder jetting...
