Calculation of time for additive manufature process

[Pedro_H_Trimailovas]

Fusion 360 has increasingly identified itself as a reliable and assertive tool for the creative community, but one thing I didn't find when exploring the Additive Manufacturing environment is that, after calculating the printing process and simulating, it is not possible to know how much the time it will take to print it, or the amount of material in grams, this is an important parameter for calculating daily costs that is present in other solutions aimed at slicing 3D models, it would be interesting to implement these features in Fusion 3D for Addictive Manufacturing.

I believe it is something that can be implemented, since for the retractable manufacturing environment (CAM) we get more data about the process

 

Happy to collaborate

I would like to see a Time estimate also, that would be very handy.  For the material weight you can set the parts physical material as ABS, or make your own material for PLA or whatever filament you are using, it only calculates as a solid, so that would be 100% infill, so it gives you a maximum you weight it would be.
