Sometimes hybrid modeling techniques prove to be the best way to complete sheet metal parts.
Fusion 360 solid convert to sheet metal.
1 convert to single solid 2 get surfaces from the geometry 3 remove solids 4 thicken the surface 5 set sheet metal thickness 6 create flat pattern.
This was so helpful.
1 create a part with only 1 solid body flat pattern requirement 2 convert imported solids into inventor objects 3 set the sheet metal thickness to match the part steps.
I would love for fusion 360 to bring this over from inventor.
Creating sheet metal components in autodesk fusion 360.
Autodesk has recently released an update to fusion 360 which includes a sheet metal modeling environment.
So often you extrude a shape and then wish you working in sheet metal mode.
When designing sheet metal assemblies it is often advantageous to create parts in the context of existing parts.
I ve drawn some brackets to hold members together.
Not only can fusion 360 bend up sheet metal it can also take your design all the way through to manufacturing your part.
After all a company s goal isn t to just create shapes in a cad program.
Fusion 360 has released the sheet metal modeling environment.
I want to get these laser cut and have to draw out a dxf for them.
Link to vote for improved sheet metal tools in fusion.
Basically just some 3mm aluminium with 90 degree bends on the end.
Hi all i m designing a laser cutter and have drawn everything up in fusion 360.
As you create your sheet metal parts within the same file you will want to make them components instead of bodies since assembly joints cannot be placed between bodies.
