Fusion‘s Manufacturing Extension offers a wide range of powerful features, and one of the most practical is the ability to print labels for your nested sheet parts. Labels make it easy to identify physical parts during production or assembly.

Why Use Labels in Fusion?

Labels are essential when working with nested sheets, especially when managing complex assemblies. They help streamline production by clearly identifying parts, reducing errors, and improving organization.

Step 1: Access the Labelling Feature

After you’ve created a nest study, navigate to the Browser in Fusion. Right-click on the desired nest and select Labels from the context menu. This will open the HTML Labels dialog, where you can customize your label settings.

Step 2: Choose Your Label Template

Within the dialog, you’ll see a Labels Template drop-down menu. Select the template that matches your printer type and paper dimensions. Fusion 360 offers various template options to accommodate different printing formats. You’ll also see a print preview in the dialog to ensure your labels look just right.

Step 3: Save and Print

Once you’re satisfied with the label preview, click Save in the lower-right corner of the dialog. You can choose to save the labels in either HTML or PDF format. Specify a name and the desired folder location for your label file. After saving, simply open the file and print your labels.

By following these steps, you can efficiently create and print labels for your nested parts, keeping your workflow organized and professional. Explore more features within the Fusion Manufacturing Extension to enhance your production process!
