Fusion 360 Arrange Nesting - Fusion added a new feature called Arrange which allows you to optimally nest parts. We’ll also go over Manufacturing Model that most have access to right now.

This is huge for anyone that needs to nest parts for manufacturing. Watch below as we show you how to turn it on and use both new features.
👋 EDIT OCT 2020 - The new personal license change removes access to Arrange nesting for personal license users. See more about those changes: pdxc.co/f360-personal

*Are you stoked about nesting in Fusion?*

@GARYMM1187 4 года назад

To say it's long overdue is an understatement.

@parks853 3 года назад

I was stoked until they removed it from the free version.

@pdxcnc 3 года назад

@@parks853 yeah, that's frustrating.

@LogicSpeaks 3 года назад

@@parks853 I have the free version, it has this function. Did they remove the "good" version?

@parks853 3 года назад

@@LogicSpeaks The 'arrange' feature was part of the free/personal version of Fusion360. Now it is only available for the paid version (I'm not sure which paid version).

@Nickporter17 3 года назад

Just found your channel and I love it!! I got laid off due to covid, so naturally I bought a 4x8 cnc and a start up license for fusion. You're helping me get my business going!!

@pdxcnc 3 года назад

Hey Nick - that's a great story! Glad to help out 👍

good luck sir...i id the same thing...

@chmedlychmedenstein916 3 года назад

@pdxcnc 3 года назад

Agreed

@paulduffy996 3 года назад

Great fly through on a great new feature, thanks folks

@pdxcnc 3 года назад

Thanks, Paul!

@GARYMM1187 4 года назад

Thanks for the much needed tutorial, I just played around with it on a few different projects and I was quite impressed. If they can get things to nest like what you can do in VCarvePro, that would be amazing. I really like that you can create a whole new world in the manufacturing workspace and keep the stuff in the design workspace to a minimum.

@Wintergatan_2 3 года назад

great walkthrough thanks!

@pdxcnc 3 года назад

Why thank you!

@djohnson16mindspring 4 года назад

Thanks for this! I probably wouldn't have seen these feature(s) if you hadn't highlighted them, this is great.

Sure thing, Dave. Might be pretty useful for that new laser cutter 😉

@greener121 4 года назад

Nice, thanks for the update, I saw your instagram post and shorter video. As always, great job. I especially liked the letter nesting around bounding boxes. I think that that will be very useful for someone plasma cutting sheets, esp. if you save the outline of your scrap then you could see if letters or other parts would fit on those sheets instead of guessing. does it handle multiple sheets?? Like nesting a whole kitchen? -Brian

@pdxcnc 4 года назад

Thanks. Yeah, it's very useful for "optimal nesting." It can't do multiple sheets, I'm not sure if that's in the works. My guess is that's one of the perks you'll only get with the upcoming Nesting Workspace.

@ravijavia8183 4 года назад

Regarding multi-sheet nesting, what Justin said is correct. I'd like to elaborate a bit on that. Arrange allows a single boundary selection for each feature. If you would like to Arrange parts on multiple sheets, you can achieve this by breaking up the object selection over multiple Arrange features. For example if you have a model with 20 objects that you know will fit on two sheets, you can create one Arrange feature with 10 objects (it relies on you to make the call as to which 10 are selected) on first sheet boundary and another Arrange feature with remaining 10 on the second sheet boundary. What it will not do is optimize for material efficiency across the 2 sheets since the sample size (objects selected) is determined by user. The more advanced nesting functionality (which is still in development) will support multi-sheet automatic nesting while also optimizing for cost - As you are aware, sheets come in different sizes and price tags and for that reason the highest material efficiency alone may not always be the most cost-effective result. Hope this helps.

@greener121 4 года назад

ravijavia cool, I don’t do many jobs over a couple of sheets, but some do. When I do kitchens I base the cuts on strips either 12” or 24” so the nesting can be done in your head or on a piece of paper. Thank for insight, I’m pretty new in using the cam side so breaking models etc will take me some more learning.

@woodone7679 3 года назад

Great video. Would be better if there is a rotation control to match grain direction

@pdxcnc 3 года назад

Thanks. Probably won’t happen as that’s a feature that will be in the upcoming Nest extension

@swamihuman9395 4 года назад

@botoepfer546 3 года назад

very cool, I have a simple 2 d part to cut many times If I can pull this off it will save me a lot of time Thank you

@pdxcnc 3 года назад

Glad it helped. Shouldn't be too bad - check out the following video on exporting if you do any kind of laser cutting. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ay0EKXvW1GE.html

@happyday.mjohnson 3 года назад

Well done. I'm new to cam in F360 so i probably am missing something...but how does arrange integrate in with setting up stock?

@pdxcnc 3 года назад

Once you finish using arrange your finish editing the Mfg Model and then you can create a setup like you normally would in Mfg Workspace. In the Setup model selection you choose Mfg Model.

@omardu4203 3 года назад

Great video, the problem that it can't auto-detect how many boards are needed assuming the parts don't fit on a single board

@pdxcnc 3 года назад

There's a good potential it will do more upcoming.

@vinay00420 3 года назад

@Portland CNC is this option available on 360 Personal i am unable to find Arrange on Fusion 360 Personal ver 2.0.9009

@pdxcnc 3 года назад

Should be there. Did you turn on the preview?

@alexvicenzi298 4 года назад

Amazing, now only if I could get it to work right. lol Any idea why Arrange will only allow me to select 1 object and not multiples?

@pdxcnc 4 года назад

Are they each a component?

@alexvicenzi298 4 года назад

@@pdxcnc That did the trick! Funny, I created a projected sketch of the arranged parts, but it seems like you cannot export a .dxf while inside the Manufacturing Model. That's really unfortunate. Anyone find a workaround for that? I thought this would finally be the automated function I needed for nesting parts for laser-cutting. Sigh.

@pdxcnc 4 года назад

@@alexvicenzi298 You definitely can. I just tested it. It works the same as design space, you need to create a sketch to export a DXF.

@alexvicenzi298 4 года назад

@@pdxcnc AHHHH, you're right. So it looks like you need to be in the "Edit Manufacturing Model" mode in order to export to .dxf. Once you press "Finish Edit". the options disappear until you jump back into edit mode.

@pdxcnc 4 года назад

Yep

@mattanglum7673 3 года назад

@paris466 2 года назад

@@pdxcnc Sorry. Just frustrated. With Fusion 360, not you. I edited my comment. With this video being over a year old, I honestly thought not many people would read my comment, much less respond. I do plasma cutting and all I want to do is be able to nest my sketches/DXFs to a sheet. I don't need to create a body. I don't need to create a component. I'm not designing a Mars rover or trying to cure cancer. Just want to be able to nest DXFs. Simple 2D sketches. I may be missing something, but it would seem to me, if the Fusion team can put all those features into a nesting program (that they expect you to pay extra for on top of the subscription) they could incorporate a simple nesting program in there, somewhere. They expect and extra $100+ dollars a month for this, when I can go online and get a subscription that does exactly what I want for $60, but I'm already paying for Fusion and feel that a simple nesting feature should be in there. I've looked around quite a bit and keep hitting dead ends.
