In this final episode in the Fusion 360 design tutorial series, where I’ve guided you through the process of designing your own model airplane, I show you two ways to create and export your 3D model into 2D templates that can be used for laser cutting, CNC machines, or printed on paper with a desktop printer. These templates can be used in any machine shop or home workshop because the output can be universally used in products like Adobe Illustrator to created printable paper templates as well as Lightburn, G-Code generating software, or CAM (Computer Aided Machining) Software.

Learn how to nest your parts in Fusion 360 and how to prepare your model before you being the nesting, or arranging process.

There are two methods demonstrated in the episode:
— How to Export your parts to DXF files using the manufacturing space within Fusion 360
— How to export your 3D model into 2D files for free with the help of an add in and Free Software.

Once you’ve completed this tutorial, you will be able to use your preferred tools and materials to create the parts needed to manufacture and build your airplane from balsa wood, foam, paper, plywood, aluminum, or any other flat material you choose.

This tutorial does not use the CAM features of F360 nor does it demonstrate how to import the DFX templates for use with routers, lasers, or page layout software. This tutorial only demonstrates how you can get your nested, or individual parts out of Fusion.
