Does anyone have a Snapmaker Artisan and use the non-3d print capabilities, like the high wattage laser and the cnc? How did those work out?

Would you buy it again?

Have one at work with the 40w as well as the standard 10w. It prints pretty good, the laser is very handy and I use it to CNC most things up to aluminum. It'll hold +/-0.002" if you do things right.

How is the software that comes with it? Can it import tool paths from Fusion360 or does one move the STL over and then use their software for the tool path setup?

The Snapmaker software is limited. I use Cura for 3DP, Lightburn for the laser and F360 for CAM. Install the post processor from Snapmaker for CAM.
