Using fusion 360 for 3d printing9/10/2023 ![]() ![]() The main part of the day was led by Peter Gough who encouraged a very hands-on ‘do to learn’ approach. The day begins with a tour of the 65 printers currently in use at PrintCity, led by Technical Officer Gary Buller who explained current 3D printing technologies and materials. If you produce a good model, this will produce a good 3D printed model. It simply meant that what appeared on the screen translated exactly to print. The pupils were taught that it’s exactly the same with 3D printing: the printing part of the process only follows extensive work and refinement in CAD software. The term WYSIWYG means ‘What You See Is What You Get’ and is synonymous with word processing, especially in its early days. The printer prints what you send to it but the vast majority of the actual work is done in a word processor. When you print a document on a normal paper printer, this is the end of work that was started much earlier.
