Technical requirements

Everything covered in this chapter is accessible to users with the personal, trial, commercial, startup, or educational Fusion 360 license types.

There are certain Fusion 360 additive machines, such as metal powder bed fusion (MPBF) 3D printers and their respective print settings and support structure generation capabilities, which are not available until gaining access to the Additive Build extension. As with all other Fusion 360 extensions, the Additive Build extension is not available for personal use. As we will not cover topics specific to metal 3D printing in this chapter, you should be able to follow along with all the examples in this chapter with no issues.

If you have a commercial license of Fusion 360, to create an additive setup with a metal powder bed fusion machine, you will also need access to the Additive Build extension (https://www.autodesk.com/products/Fusion-360/additive-build-extension).

Autodesk offers a 14-day trial for the Additive...
