I ve drawn some brackets to hold members together.

Fusion 360 convert to sheet metal.

Hi all i m designing a laser cutter and have drawn everything up in fusion 360. Fusion 360 has released the sheet metal modeling environment. Creating sheet metal components in autodesk fusion 360. 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.

Autodesk has recently released an update to fusion 360 which includes a sheet metal modeling environment. Let s show how to create sheet metal bends folds flange unfold flat pattern and more. Then copy and paste the embed code into your own web page. 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.

Traditional cad tools only take your sheet metal design from concept to dxf without integrating an expensive 3rd party add in. So often you extrude a shape and then wish you working in sheet metal mode. Did you know that fusion 360 can convert your imported solid model to a sheet metal body. When designing sheet metal assemblies it is often advantageous to create parts in the context of existing parts.

To embed this screencast choose a size. The goal is to create an actual physical product. This video shows how to use an imported step file in autodesk inventor as the basis for a sheet metal flat pattern. 1 convert to single solid.

Fusion 360 is the only tool to integrate design to manufacture. What we need to achieve. I would love for fusion 360 to bring this over from inventor. I used to use inventor and that software had a feature that allowed you to convert an extruded shape to sheet metal.

This was so helpful.
