3D Printing is a method creating prototypes and models through the fundamentals of additive manufacturing.
We have multiple FDM 3D printers here in the Warrior Fab Lab. FDM stands for Fused Deposition Modelling which is a 3D printing variant that can use a variety of plastics. FDM printers work by starting with a base layer and adding success layers until the object is completely printed. For a list of our 3D printers, see our Equipment & Software page.
Slicer For Fusion 360 is a software add-on that enables users to generate 3D models by slicing it into layers that can be used by CNC machines or laser cutters to create a physical object. The user can configure various settings to define the quality and pattern of the slicing process, such as a linking series of cross-sections versus a vertical stack of individual layers. Slicer For Fusion 360 will arrange these slices as a 2-dimensional pattern that is applied to fit within the boundaries of a set of user-defined materials, like cardstock or plywood sheets.
