Exporting Multiple Bodies as One STL File in Fusion 360
When I first started using Fusion 360, one of my favorite features was the ease of going from 3D model to 3D printing. No other software provided a smoother workflow. It’s very straightforward to do if your model contains only one body. However, if you are trying to export multiple bodies, it can get a bit tricky. But no worries, I’m going to show you the trick. Step 1 - Exporting a Single Body Let’s first go over the process of exporting a single body. Simply go to Make o

This is really the best way to starting using the Sculpting environment. It will take a bit of practice to get comfortable using the sculpting tools as it requires an entirely different mindset compared to working within the modeling environment. However, once you get used to editing t-s
