Product Overview
Netfabb® software includes efficient build preparation capabilities alongside tools for optimizing designs for additive manufacturing, simulating metal additive processes, and planning for CNC post-processing. Import models from a variety of CAD formats and use repair tools to quickly correct errors. Make your models production ready by adjusting wall thicknesses, smoothing rough areas, and more. Identify areas that require support and use semi-automated tools to generate support structures. Convert organic, free-form mesh files to boundary representation models and make them available in CAD in STEP, SAT, or IGES format. Use 2D and 3D packing algorithms to optimally place parts within the build volume. Create custom reports that include critical information for manufacturing and quoting. Develop build strategies and define toolpath parameters for maximum surface quality, part density, and speed.What is Fusion 360 with Netfabb
