Getting Started with Nesting and Fabrication – Fusion 360 Extension

In this session, you will learn how to get started with one of the advanced Fusion 360 Extensions: Nesting and Fabrication. Advanced nesting fabrication capabilities allow you to create optimized and associative multi-sheet layouts for your sheet metal and non-sheet metal parts in preparation for cutting on your CNC machines.

Learn to create nest studies for parts from one or more documents to optimize material yield and minimize waste from flat raw material cutting operations. This includes automatic material, thickness, and part quantity detection along with the ability to control part orientation and available stock sizes. Learn how to also generate setups, tool paths, and NC code from Fusion 360 or simply export nest layouts as DXF files. Customizable nest reports can be saved and shared in PDF format.
