hello

 

Can you download specific materials and import it to fusion?

Like a download from matweb to fusion or something simular?

You can import materials directly into Fusion 360, but you can take material properties you find on Matweb and create your own custom materials with your own properties. 

 

To do this, right click anywhere in the design environment and select Physical Materials.

In the material library, pick a material that is closest to what you want to create and drag it to the "In This Design" section. 
Right click on it and select Edit. 
Give it a new name, density if applicable, and then click Advanced.

This Identity tab is where you can enter more Identity details if needed.

Switching over to the Physical tab will allow you to enter more physical properties. This is where all your Matlab data can go.

Once you've entered them, click Apply and then OK to finish. 

Right click on the new material you just created and select "Add to Favorties". This will add the material to your favorite materials library.

You can switch over to your favorites library by going to the library drop-down menu and select the Favorites option.

it would be nice that you can import from MatWeb and upload all the properties instead of creating one by one.. I had to create about 20 already and its no fun! 😞
