You are going to find your place on a map, download a 3D model of the terrain into fusion 360, use an add-on called slicer to "slice" it, print out templates of your slices, cut the slices out of cardboard or other thick material, and then stack and glue the slices together. This project works well with mountains, of course, or other features that are more "extreme". It can be a place that is important to you or your family, a place that is historically important, or a place that you just think looks especially cool. I like this lesson as an integration between my 3D modeling elective and both geography and science classes.įor this project we are going to choose a place on Earth that we consider significant (a "favorite place"). The final release of Slicer for both Mac OS and Windows is provided to be used as-is with no guarantees.

Solution: Autodesk has deprecated Slicer for Fusion 360 and it is no longer maintained on the Autodesk Fusion 360 App Store. As we are distance learning right now, this can still be done, just requires more person power- you get to cut out all the cardboard bits! Issue: You would like to download Slicer for Fusion 360. My classroom recently gained a laser cutter, so once we get a chance to get back to our physical school, this will be one of our first chances to try out the laser cutter. This is a fun intro to using the slicer add on for Fusion 360, which maps out slices for any STL file.
