for blender. Instead of having to fix each of the cut off faces manually, you can just turn on a pre-installed add-on in blender called “3d print tool box” it has an option to repair models the same way as fusion 360, in that case it would automatically fix those faces. and of course it can be used in any of the other steps to fix the model instead of using fusion. Though sometimes it doesn’t always work perfectly so always check the result and redo it or manually do some of it and it will complete the rest etc.
