3D print directly from Fusion 360 - export, slice and print in one click

The SimplyPrint add-in for Autodesk Fusion 360 bridges the gap between CAD design and 3D printing. Model in Fusion, then send your design straight to your printer in a single click - no separate export step, no juggling files between programs.

New to this? Read the full walkthrough: how to 3D print from Fusion 360.

The add-in adds a SimplyPrint button to Fusion's UTILITIES panel (and next to the built-in 3D Print button on the MAKE panel). Pick STL or 3MF, choose what to export, tweak the mesh quality, hit Send, and SimplyPrint opens in your browser with the model loaded - ready to slice, queue, or print.

The add-in is currently being submitted to the Autodesk App Store. In the meantime, install it with the Windows installer below, or sideload it manually using the zip - the steps are below.

How to install

Option 1 - Windows installer (recommended)
  1. Download the installer:

    Download SimplyPrintFusionExport-installer.exe
  2. Run the installer and click through the 3 steps - it drops the add-in straight into Fusion's AddIns folder.

  3. Open Fusion 360 (or restart it if it was already running).

  4. Press Shift+S, open the Add-Ins tab, select SimplyPrintExport, and click Run. Tick Run on Startup so it loads automatically next time.

Option 2 - Manual install (Windows, macOS)
  1. Download the zip:

    Download SimplyPrintFusionExport.zip
  2. Extract the zip to a folder you'll keep around (your Documents folder is a safe choice - don't put it on your desktop or in Downloads where it might get cleaned up).

  3. Open Fusion 360, press Shift+S, and switch to the Add-Ins tab.

  4. Click the green + button next to My Add-Ins, point it at the extracted SimplyPrintExport folder, and click Open.

  5. Select SimplyPrintExport in the list, click Run, and tick Run on Startup.


Getting started

Click the SimplyPrint button on the UTILITIES panel (or next to the 3D Print button on MAKE) to open the dialog. Click Log in the first time - a browser tab opens, you approve the request, and you're set for future sessions. Pick the format, scope, units and mesh quality you want, then hit Send. Your browser opens SimplyPrint with the model uploaded, ready to slice, queue, or print on one or more printers.

  • Export STL or 3MF directly from Fusion 360 to SimplyPrint
  • Send the whole design, a selection of bodies, or just specific components
  • Tune mesh quality with Low / Medium / High presets - or fine-tune surface deviation, normal deviation and edge length in Custom mode
  • Chunked uploads for huge designs - multi-hundred-megabyte exports just work
  • Works on Windows and macOS

Frequently asked questions

How do I 3D print from Fusion 360?

Install the SimplyPrint add-in for Fusion 360, then click the SimplyPrint button to export your model as STL or 3MF and send it. The model opens in SimplyPrint in your browser, ready to slice, queue or print - no manual export or SD cards.

Is the Fusion 360 integration free?

Yes. The add-in is free to install and use, and SimplyPrint's free plan lets you connect a printer and print wirelessly.

Does it work on Windows and macOS?

Yes. The add-in runs on both Windows and macOS. Windows has a one-click installer, and both platforms can sideload the add-in manually from the zip.

STL or 3MF - which format should I send?

Both work. STL is the universal mesh format, while 3MF preserves units and color. You choose the format, the scope of bodies or components, and the mesh quality before sending.

Can I print to any 3D printer after sending?

Yes. Once the model is in SimplyPrint you can slice it and print to any printer on your account - 130+ brands and 600+ models through OctoPrint, Klipper or a built-in integration.


About SimplyPrint integrations

Integration for SimplyPrint allows for applications to interact with your 3D printers, and your 3D printers to interact with other applications. This allows for endless possibilities, and we strongly believe that your 3D printer should be able to function as an IOT device, working together with any and all applications you can imagine!

This is why the team behind SimplyPrint work to provide official integrations for the most popular platforms, slicer and applications, while also allowing our users to create custom integrations using our API, or for approved third party vendors to create integrations to be used by all SimplyPrint users, using a "Log in with SimplyPrint" method (using the "OAuth2" method).

If you're a developer interested in creating an integration for SimplyPrint, please read our documentation on the subject.

If you're not a developer yourself, but would like to see an integration for a specific application, go check if it's already on our roadmap or suggestion list, and if not, feel free to suggest it!
