Prepare, simulate, and print with confidence: repair and orient models, build lattices and supports, and catch distortion before metal or polymer parts ever hit the machine.
Netfabb (now delivered as Fusion with Netfabb) covers the full additive workflow: import and repair meshes, arrange builds, generate lattices, and simulate powder bed fusion or direct energy deposition before you commit material and machine time.
Fix common mesh errors, check wall thickness, and get files build-ready without redoing the model from scratch.
Generate lattice structures and parametric supports to cut weight and material use while keeping part strength.
Arrange multiple parts on the build plate to use less space, avoid collisions, and get more out of every build.
Predict temperature, distortion, and stress before printing, and correct problems on screen instead of on the machine.
Set build strategies and toolpath parameters tuned for surface quality, part density, and print speed.
Cut setup time with configurations already built for supported printers, so you spend less time on machine matching.

Netfabb prepares 3D files for additive manufacturing: repairing meshes, arranging build plates, generating lattices and supports, and simulating metal print processes to catch distortion before you print.
No. Autodesk now delivers the toolset as Fusion with Netfabb, alongside a standalone Netfabb Local Simulation product focused on MPBF and DED simulation. DSI can match the right option to your workflow.
Additive manufacturing engineers, industrial designers, and mechanical engineers who need to prepare, simulate, or optimize parts for 3D printing, from prototypes through production runs.
Netfabb includes preloaded workspaces for 200+ industrial 3D printers, covering major metal and polymer platforms. Talk to DSI to confirm your specific machine.
Build preparation, lattice and hollowing tools, automatic packing, and additive toolpaths are included. Thermo-mechanical simulation for metal powder bed fusion and direct energy deposition is available on qualifying tiers.
