Description

What is mechanical tolerance and how does it factor into 3D printing parts that are meant to work together? Did you know that you can import hardware CAD files from McMaster-Carr directly into Fusion 360?

Explore this process and how dual-extruder printers, like the MakerBot Method and Stratasys F-Series, can be used to print prototype and end-use parts with soluble support structures.
