Fusion 360 Tutorial: Creating Custom Threads

Mike Lobsinger

3 0 Intermediate
In this Fusion 360 Tutorial I show how to make custom threads. Though Fusion 360 does include a built in thread creation tool, there are instances where Fusion may not have the thread pitch or profile you are looking for. So I share some tools and techniques for creating these model details.

Fusion360 Tutorial - Sheet Metal Design and Protrusions (Parts 1 & 2)

Mike Lobsinger
in Modeling
3 0 Intermediate
In this Fusion360 tutorial I share two videos. The first goes through the basic use of the Sheet Metal Workspace and use of parameters to create a sheet metal mounting plate for a mock up of pressure regulator and pressure dial. The second is an example of platform step using the bending tool and also workflow example of creating patterned protrusions. These exercises will give you basic understanding on how to use the sheet metal tools and settings in Fusion 360. Sheet Metal design is one of the most common and least expensive prototyping, and manufacturing methods for aluminum and steel.

Fusion360 Tutorial: Design of a Grommet using Parameters

Mike Lobsinger

In this Fusion360 tutorial I walk you through a basic use of parameters to create a standard grommet design. Use parametric approaches or parameters to define sketches and models within CAD designs is a powerful tool for quicky adapting your model design and related components. Using these tools allows you to relate features and dimension to one another to avoid solid model generation errors, as you'll see in my example. Though this is a simple use case, I think the video will give you enough of an intro to become familiar with using the parameter tools in Fusion360 or diving into parametric tools in other platforms.

PolyJet Best Practices: How to Prototype Surfaces with Varied Friction Coefficients

0 0 Intermediate
Friction is defined as the force that opposes the relative motion or tendency of such motion of two surfaces in contact. The friction coefficient of a prototype’s surface is a functional component, not an aesthetic one, and simulates the end product’s mechanical properties. A well-designed prototype that takes friction into consideration can have the following advantages: an improved grip for the end-user, reduced part wear, simulated movement functionality and sliding abilities. PolyJetTM ConnexTM 3D Printing systems provide a solution for prototyping surfaces with varied friction coefficients that were impossible or cost-prohibitive to prototype in the past. By being able to print several materials in one build process, Connex systems can produce prototypes with varying friction areas on one given part. Users determine the friction coefficients for different areas of a part according to the load factor. This saves time and money by providing an easy solution for prototyping complex parts whose dynamic friction coefficients can be tested in a single build process.
