Thanks to SendCutSend for sponsoring this series on Laser Cutting with Fusion 360!

Learn how to prepare your Fusion 360 file for laser cutting. This includes how to check your units of measure and scale, how to Project your edges or contour into a single sketch, and additional considerations when preparing files for laser cutters.

Fusion 360 allows the export as a DXF file, which makes it the perfect CAD program to use for laser cutters. Go from 3-dimensional objects to 2D contours for laser cutting. In this lesson, learn how to Project the edges of 3D bodies into a single sketch. The Sketch is then used to create DXF files, which is the 5th video in this laser cutting series.

Check out the next video in this series, where I demo how to prepare your TEXT for the Laser Cutter using Fusion 360.
