From Nested DXF to Production Ready Parts in Autodesk Fusion- Office Hours Chapter 4.1

Welcome back to Office Hours at SendCutSend Community College. In this lesson we focus on working in CAD and what to do when you receive a nested DXF from someone else and need to prepare it correctly for manufacturing.

Jake walks through a practical example to explain what a nested DXF is why it can cause DFM issues and how it can increase part cost if left unchanged. You will see why manufacturers prefer individual parts instead of pre nested files and how breaking them out improves sizing accuracy material yield and pricing.

In this episode you will learn how to
• understand what a nested DXF is and why it causes problems
• recognize how nested files can trigger DFM size errors
• see how improper nesting can artificially increase part cost
• import DXF files correctly in Autodesk Fusion
• break nested geometry into individual components
• label and manage components for manufacturing
• export clean individual DXFs for SendCutSend
• send parts directly to SendCutSend using the Autodesk Fusion plugin
