I can change the refinement to high, medium, or low, or I can go to a custom refinement. I have the preview mesh option on, and at medium refinement I see that just over 18,000 triangles are calculated. Fusion 360 for 3D Printing Formlabs and Autodesk have partnered to streamline your digital workflow with introducing new functionality in Fusion 360 for 3D printing your designs with SLA and SLS technologies from Formlabs. 3D printing usually requires a slicer but now it's possible in Fusion 360 Let's learn how to 3D print in Fusion 360, tips and tricks. The 3D print dialog is very straightforward, requiring you to select the component that you want to print. Users are unsure whether Fusion 360 can send files directly to the 3D printer to 3D print their designs without the need for a 3D printing utility. To start a 3D print inside of Fusion 360 go to the Make pulldown, and select the 3D print icon. Fusion 360 can still be used for 3D printing with File > 3D print > send to chosen print utility, File Export > STL or Save As STL. Therefore 3D printing is the perfect solution.

Looking at it there are some complex surfaces which might be difficult to create using other methods especially in small quantities where it's not cost effective to create a mold. In Fusion 360 I have the remote door component open.

The machinery that produces the parts typically have their own software to optimize creating the shape so the primary task Fusion 360 has to do is converting the model to an STL file. Additive manufacturing, also referred to as 3D printing, is changing the rules regarding design for manufacturing.
