Fab Connect

You can fabricate your models using the equipment available in your fabrication laboratory, for example a laser cutter.

Before you begin: The Fab Connect command requires program files provided by your fabrication administrator. These files include the list of equipment in the fabrication laboratory and their options.
  1. From the Tools section of the action bar, click Fab Connect .
  2. Click Open Mods.
    The fabrication modules open in a browser window. Your fabrication administrator must provide you with the program files that support your fabrication equipment. The Open Mods button provides a function for opening these program files.
  3. In the work area, select a planar face of the object you want to fabricate.

    You must select the planar face after you have selected your fabrication modules. If you previously selected a face, remove the face selection and select it again.

  4. Click to close the Fab Connect dialog box.

The design object file is sent to the fabrication equipment. Use the fabrication program file to start the fabrication.
