But how to get a well laid out cut list for the tweaked design?Īs it turns out this was really easy, Fusion can export a BOM as a CSV with a free plugin from GitHub and with a little gentle persuading Cutlist Optimizer can import them. While looking at workbench designs for my soon-to-be-built space I stumbled on Suso’s Modular Workbench over at PS Woodworking ( well worth a visit – Suso has some really cool woodworking projects for the workshop) which I really liked but wanted to “fiddle with”, so I recreated it in Fusion 360. I found Cutlist Optimizer a while ago whilst designing my new workshop (also in Fusion 360 – trust me Fusion is not the best tool for designing buildings even wooden ones!).
