Complete workflow for 3D model slicing in Fusion:

STEP 1: PREPARATION

• Open your 3D model in Fusion

• Ensure your model contains solid bodies (not mesh or surface)

• Activate JT 3D Slicer Pro from the ADD-INS tab

STEP 2: CONFIGURATION

• Select the body you want to slice from your model

• Choose slicing axis: X, Y, or Z depending on your manufacturing needs

• Set slice thickness (range: 0.1mm to 100mm)

• Preview the number of slices that will be created

STEP 3: EXECUTION

• Click "Create Slices" to start the slicing process

• The plugin creates individual solid bodies for each slice

• All slices are automatically organized in the Fusion timeline

• Custom naming helps identify slice sequence and orientation

STEP 4: EXPORT AND USE

• Use Fusion's built-in export functions for individual slices

• Export formats: DXF, DWG, STL, STEP, and others

• Each slice maintains full geometric accuracy for manufacturing

TYPICAL WORKFLOWS:

• Laser Cutting: Use X or Y axis slicing to create flat cutting patterns

• Layer Assembly: Use Z axis slicing for stacked component construction

• Prototyping: Create test slices to verify fit and assembly

• Education: Demonstrate internal structure of complex 3D models

PRO ADVANTAGES:

• No limit on number of slices (Trial version limited to 10 slices)

• All axis orientations available (Trial version Z-axis only)

• Timeline organization and custom naming included

Installation: JT 3D Slicer installs automatically via the Autodesk App Store installer to the user-specific Fusion plugins directory:

• Windows: %APPDATA%\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins\JT3DSlicer.bundle\
• The plugin appears in Fusion's MODIFY panel after installation and restart.

Uninstallation:

1. Open Fusion → Preferences → Add-Ins
2. Select "JT_3D_Slicer" → Click "Unload"
3. Restart Fusion 

Complete Removal (Windows): Click Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features (Windows 10/11) and uninstall as you would any other application from your system.

License files remain in %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\JTPlugin\ for easy reinstallation.
