How To Use Fusion 360

Here’s how to model an interestingly curved shape in Fusion 360: Step 1: Make the sketch. I start with this already made.

This is for my '3D printing and design' students who were having some issues getting through the built-in.

Step 2: Go to the patch environment and sketch an arc from the sketch arc 3-point arc selection. Select the plane where you want to draw this arc. I use the plane perpendicular to our pre-drawn sketch. Click to put the first point of the arc and then click at a second position at the end point of your arc. Move around the mouse to set the curvature and click again to set it in stone.

Step 3: Now, go to the create extrude while you are still in the patch environment. Select the arc and extrude it symmetrically so that it spans the whole flower, look from the top view to confirm. Again, make sure you are still in the patch environment while you are doing this. Step 4: Go back to the model environment. Select your initial sketch and extrude it beyond the arched patch you extruded in Step 3. Make sure the operation type is selected as intersect.

Click ok and you will have an interestingly curved patch. Step 5: In the model environment, go to create thicken and click on your curved flower patch and thicken it as desired. One variation of this could be that you stay back in the model environment and make a sphere under the flower sketch, thicken it and intersect the flower extrusion with the sphere to give a spherical curve to your flower, rather than a single gradient curve like the one above. Here’s one way to do that.

Insert attached canvas. Step 2: Draw the desired path. One quick and rough way to do it is splines, like I do in the video above. But a cleaner method would be to use, lines, fillets and arcs through out. And then put appropriate constraints to get a smooth path.

In any case, spline can edited as desired as well. I show the way to do it at the end of the video. Step 3: Select the path and make a construction plane along path. Step 4: Draw the cross section. I assumed it to be a rounded rectangle. So I use a center rectangle from sketches rectangle. Draw the rectangle on this plane you just created, starting from the path.

Step 5: Use sketch fillet and then select pairs of edges to make fillet at their junction. You can set the radius, I just leave it as default value. Step 6: Go to Create sweep and select the rounded rectangle as the face and the path you drew in step 2 as the path.

You have your torsion spring. Edit: One of the million other good ways to do it – Posted on Author Categories Tags,. If this is the first time you are starting Fusion 360, I suggest that you start with either. In the of this series we had finished modelling one of the headphone cups for Bose QC25. In this part we apply materials and customize their texture a bit to suit our product. There is one annoying polygon at the inside of the cup which we will fix in the next tutorial.

Also, perhaps, they have God on their side. The da vinci code film. The conspiracy involves members of Opus Dei, a society of Catholics who in real life (I learn from a recent issue of the Spectator) are rather conventionally devout and prayerful. This series of chases, discoveries and escapes is intercut with another story, involving an albino named Silas (), who works under the command of the Teacher, a mysterious figure at the center of a conspiracy to conceal the location of the Holy Grail, what it really is, and what that implies. The police, both French and British, are one step behind them all of this time, but Sophie and Robert are facile, inventive and daring.

The texture I used can be downloaded from here: You might want to experiment with the scale of the texture to get the best results. I do this around 3 mins 12 seconds by double clicking the material in “in this design” box of “Appearance.” Posted on Author Categories Tags,. You will be able to follow this tutorial even if you just opened Fusion 360 for the first time.

Although you can still follow the tutorial series from by clicking the link. A few things before we get started Despite having never worked with splines, recently I took upon me the task of modelling a headphone. Eyeballing it, I could have modeled a headphone of mine but I did not want it to be ugly.

With all the design expertise it takes to build one. I was sure it was unrealistic to expect a good design if I had tried to do it on my own.

In case it ended badly, it would also discourage me from further endeavors like this one. For that simple reason I decided to pick a neat headphone design., the headphone I can only ever own virtually in Fusion 360, has always been my favorite. So I it was an obvious choice. Then lay in front of me, the task to record my progress. I couldn’t have done it like I have done it before (using GIF images). So I decided to do a video. Again, it was my first time.

I figured that an hour long video would have been unwatchable and boring. It would also be a big task for me to do it all at once. Hence I will be uploading in parts.

When Autodesk recently announced they were going to be, many of us were pretty bummed. As it turns out, that app had a fantastic ability to “slice” objects into layers for cutting with a laser, router, or mill. They’ve added a “slicer” app, packed with features to fill that void left behind by the closing of 123D. This new announcement for Fusion 360 is music to our ears. The name “slicer” can be a bit confusing for some of us.

If you’re in to 3D printing, you know a slicer generates the code that your 3D printer uses to make parts. This slicer is a bit different, but the name suits it perfectly. It can create slices in various ways to build the shape you want. You’re not limited to stacking layers on top of each other — you can do grids, custom arrangements, and all kinds of tweaking.

This is a fantastic addition to an already insanely powerful tool, and remember, for hobbyists!
