On deleting the surface area of an object (preferably mesh) of a given width

Dear community

I am trying to delete the surface area of a mesh of mine, I would like to subtract any point in the mesh that has a distance of less than 1 mm from "air". This is different from just scaling the mesh, since the width of the material "cut off" would then depend on the width of the mesh in that location. I would like to delete 1 mm flat independently of how thick the mesh is in that location. Is there a function in Autodesk Fusion that does exactly that?

 

Thank you in advance!

If you are working with a triangulated mesh, Fosion is not the right software for this type of modeling.

What you are looking for is a surface offset, but that does not exist in Fusion for a mesh model.

You will probably have more luck with that in Autodesk Meshmixer.
