Fusion 360 can slice models for 3D printing, without the need to save the file as an STL. In this tutorial, we'll take a design model into the Manufacture workspace. From there, we'll slice it, simulate the 3D print, and save the Gcode.
Fusion 360's slicer has many advantages and disadvantages... but will it replace Cura any time soon? (comment on this video!)
