Tool Path generation failed while working on additive manufacturing.

while working on Additive manufacturing, tool path generation failed above error appeared. "Error: One or more models assigned to the setup are outside of build plate" May any body provide solution pls.

Could you share your Fusion file so we can see the issue?

Bring all the parts inside bulid plate / printers printing limit. Move and align the part inside rectangular box of 3d printer model.

If it is highlighted red in color that means the part is outside of printing limit of the machine.

Hi @bsrawal1970 ,

@pramodQ4FRF is correct. In your case it seems that you have bodies that you have selected when you created the setup, which lie outside of the build volume. This will cause the toolpath generation to fail. To resolve this, please place all parts inside of the build volume. 

Please also see my attached images detailing what the Fusion 360 Additive workspace part colour-coding represents:

Part is outside of build volume:

Part is close the build volume boundary:

Part is inside of build volume:

 

Therefore, you should be seeing red parts somewhere outside of your build volume. Check your part's visibility if you cannot see them.

Send your project through and I can take a look if you need.

Hey guys, 

I experienced the same problem with two components printed at once. In 'arrange in 3D' they arrange just fine, however, 'arrange in 2D' argues there is not enough space for both components. Positioning both components manually results in the aforementioned error message. However, contrary to the images provided by @thomas.stock the components look like they are within the build volume of the 3D Printer (Ultimaker S5).

Hi @e_zimmermann_ ,

Hmmm this is strange... I did some testing and it seems to me that is is a problem perhaps with the Ultimaker S5 machine. It seems that the parts must be placed a considerable distance form the Left & Right side of the build volume for them to be considered "within the build volume".
I placed the parts close to the border of an Alfawise printer in Fusion 360, and did not have the same issue.

  

We shall discuss this further internally to see what's going on, and if needs be, will fix in a future release.

For the mean time, I would suggest using the 'Autodesk Generic FFF' printer and editing it so that it's build volume matches that of the S5. Remember to select the Ultimaker post when post-processing.

Let me know how you get on!

Hey @thomas.stock,

I exported the SDL file and used the Ultimaker slicer. Manually positioning the two pieces worked fine here.

Please let me know whether this behavior is intended or recognized as a bug.

Have a nice day!

Hi @e_zimmermann_ ,

Ok I'm glad that that worked for you, but sorry that you weren't able to use the Fusion FFF slicer.

We worked out what it was... In order to compensate for the offset between both extruders on the printers, we actually shrink the build volume in the calculations, but do not update the build volume the users see. We do this regardless of whether the user is using 1 or both extruders.

This is bad implementation on our part and something we will fix - apologies!

As a possible workaround for you, I suggest modifying the Autodesk Generic FFF machine to the same dimensions as the S5. I did this and had no problem with model placement or toolpath generation.
