Reasons Not To Use Fusion360?
Fusion360 does not use printers. So while Fusion360 has integrated CAM (Computer Aided
Manufacturing) it is a complex procedure to set-up and out of scope for current laser cutter usage.
Instead individual sketches must be exported as DXF files then loaded into CorelDraw.
is an older post covering one technique from the autodesk forums.
Tip for lasercutting from
to export without construction lines.
What I usually do for getting things either laser cut or waterjet cut is to extrude my design from the
original sketch which includes all the constraints, dimensions and construction lines. Then I create
another sketch on the top surface of that extrusion and project all the extruded elements into that
new sketch. That sketch is then exported into a DXF.
UPDATE 23/03/2017
Fusion360 has been extensively used to generate many DXFs for cutting without problems, using the
recommended workflow.
