METAFOLD 3D
The Metafold plugin for Autodesk® Fusion® bridges the gap between two powerful design tools: Fusion and the Metafold browser-based volumetric modelling platform.

General Usage Instructions

The Metafold plugin is designed to make it easy to transfer your projects between the app.metafold3d.com platform and the Fusion. 

Once you have your designed part ready for export (geometry and platform usage tutorials available on www.metafold3d.com) simply select the binary option in the export window, choose your desired sampling resolution, and click export. This will download two files to disk, a .bin and a .json file. 

In Fusion, click on the metafold plugin button and select the .json file from the previous step.

You should now have your volumetric geometry imported into Fusion.
