Model in Fusion, then send your design straight to your printer in a single click - no separate export step, no juggling files between programs.

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)




- Download the installer:
[
* Download SimplyPrintFusionExport-installer.exe
](https://cdn.simplyprint.io/i/static/integrations/fusion/SimplyPrintFusionExport-installer.exe)

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

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

##### Option 2 - Manual install (Windows, macOS)




- Download the zip:

** Download SimplyPrintFusionExport.zip
](https://cdn.simplyprint.io/i/static/integrations/fusion/SimplyPrintFusionExport.zip)

- 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).

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

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