  • FFF 3D Printing Sustainability Considerations

    3D printing is often viewed as an environmentally friendly manufacturing method because of its reduction in waste material. It’s also shaking up supply chains by allowing localization, consolidation, and reduced inventories. However, every manufacturing process has an environmental impact, and additive manufacturing is no exception. In this article, we’re going to look at the FFF…


  • Understanding Additive Manufacturing Technology & Processes

    This blog post delves into the different additive manufacturing processes and technologies to help you find the right one for your workflow. If you’re reading this, you probably already know what a 3D printer is (if you don’t, then read this article about 3D printing vs. injection molding). But do you understand the differences between the vast number of additive manufacturing processes, technologies, and…


  • The New Possible Podcast: fuseproject Goes Medical to Combat COVID-19

    San Francisco-based industrial design firm fuseproject is most widely known for its work in the consumer product space. However, during the COVID-19 pandemic, its design team came together to deliver a cost-effective, innovative, and downright good looking ventilator to combat the outbreak. Here's how they made it happen.


  • 3D Printing vs. Injection Molding: What You Need to Know

    Explore the differences between two essential processes in the modern manufacturing space, their merits, and the nuances behind them.


  • How to Use Generative Design Tools for Additive and Subtractive Manufacturing

    Generative design is no longer a tool for creating designs that can only be produced using additive manufacturing. Generative design now can optimize solutions suitable for many manufacturing techniques.


  • What Materials Can be 3D Printed?

    Using the right material for your 3D printed project can make or break the final result. Fortunately, there are many options to choose from, whether it be plastic, metal, or even polymer.


  • What Does the Future of 3D Printing Look Like?

    3D printing has come a long way from the early days of desktop figurines. As technology continues to evolve, the future brighter than ever.


  • What is Aerospace Engineering?

    Decidedly the least grounded profession in the field of engineering, aerospace engineers examine our relationship with the world above us. Since the field’s official 1958 emergence, engineers have helped humans travel — commercially, militarily, and exploratively. Aerospace industry advancements have improved how quickly, safely, and efficiently this has been made possible. They have also paved…

    Gearbox3D's heavy-duty 3D printer prints high-quality plastics. Learn how Fusion 360's integrated cloud platform helped bring it to life.


  • The Rise of Medical Wearables During COVID-19

    Over 20 percent of Americans wear smart devices. If this technology is harnessed correctly, it could help slow the spread of infection.


  • 5 Tips for Creating Exceptional Renderings

    To improve existing processes and enhance physical designs, follow these five tips to make even better renderings.


  • Exploring a Scan-to-CAD Workflow with peel 3d

    Learn how Jason Evers of Eversfab used peel 3d scanning technology and Fusion 360 to design a zero-waste Corvette roll cage.


  • Achieving Better Additive Manufacturing Outcomes in Generative Design

    As part of the December 2020 update of Fusion 360, we delivered a hidden gift just in time for the holidays: a new method for generating additive manufacturing outcomes. Internally, we call this project Additive 2.0, and it is part of our Experimental Generative Solvers and Features preview. This new method should go a long way to improve the shape quality and printability of the outcomes compared to…


  • 3D Modeling Software for Woodworking

    The old adage of “measure twice, cut once” is being revolutionized by design software that allows for “digital cuts” before ever going into the actual shop


  • What Is Parametric Design in Architecture, and How Is It Shaping the Industry?

    Parametric Design in architecture is being put to the test by design software that allows implementation at a scale never seen before.
