Thank you Lars! I am designing an assembly made from multiple parts cut from 6.35 mm 5052 aluminum. I have been living with the Sheet Metal tools of Fusion 360 for some time now. Some really useful tips and reminders in here! So glad you are back! Thanks again! 👊😎
As I follow along it seems so easy, but the minute I'm off on my own I get stumped occasionally. I will just keep at it as I'm sure this will get easier with repetition. Thanks for the video. Also, I don't mind at all about the length. I could watch videos like this all day especially when it's about a topic that I want to increase my knowledge on.
Thank you Lars, added few tools to the toolbox. Oh... i love the "I know it is going to be a long video, but here another trick". You can give us as many tricks you want, I'll take it.
As always sir, grest job!!!! I am a sheet metal fabricator and I have commented on K factor in the past. When I get some free time, I will email you some useful tips for any future sheetmetal videos. TAKE CARE.
Awesome video as always. “If you double click on a line, it will select the whole thing” got a whaaaaa?!! from me. I’ve been using Fusion for a long time, and did not know you could do that.
The new arrange function. Yes, I will have to cover that the best I can when I get to the manufacturing workspace. I think the next video will be assemblies
I think that comes down to what you are trying to do. I covered What's New in Parts in the last few videos. That applies to woodworking. Next is What's New Assemblies, that could help you build a dresser etc.
I've used 3D-printed parts in order to create tooling parts for shaping sheet metall. Wouldn't it be a cool option if you create a sheet metall object and from that can create the tooling part/parts with the click of a button? Is there any option for that in Fusion or any other CAD-program today?
Cannot set sheet metal rule to thickness . New fusion had to move things that didn't need to. Your videos helped so much and for a program to become more confusing is beyond me. But thank you for posting
How do you create outside miters? I am working on a drawing for a tank and I would like to have a 2" flange going around the top edge of the tank, which will allow the tank to rest on this flange when placed in the frame. I would like to have each flange to meet at the end with a 45 degree miter for welding. I just can figure out how to create the mitered corners.
Hi Lars, great tutorial I have really learned a lot about Fusion watching your video's.Your explanation on processes is well thought out and extremely well explained.Could you help me with a problem please? I have sketched up a part in 2D which has various cutouts and needs to be rolled, how do I create the 3D model of this part in the sheet metal workspace?
Why do i feel like ive been screwed over from Autodesk..Was spending time to learn this program with a view of buying it if it was for me..Now they can go jump ill go elsewhere thank you
HI Lars I want to add a flange to the rounded ( arc ) edge on a sheet metal pattern. How would I be able to do that? It doesn't allow it as a bend or flange.... It only allows for flanges to be added on straight sections.... Help?
Hi Lars good to see you back at it. The problem that I’m having with flat pattern is when I create a flat pattern and I’m going to the manufacture of space to use my plasma cutter it it refolds the pattern back up and won’t let me use it or am I doing something wrong please and thank you any information would greatly appreciated
That was a great video and got me thinking of uses. I don't have a waterjet or plasma cutter but I can laser out a paper pattern or maybe find a format that the wife's Silhouette cutter will speak. You could even build little folded paper constructions.
Hoi Lars This is a very good livestream for the sheet metal f-360 user Flanges extrude folding assemble joint revolute ... but how do people in america call this part: Bracket ? Can you change this in: Suspension bracket or Mounting bracket for blinds, Side supports or Mounting supports.
Was mich interessieren wuerde sind verschiedene biegeradien in eine blechteil und auch bestehende radien nachtraeglich vergroessern. ebenso wie ein gewinde in zeichnungen bemasst werden kann. diese arbeit hier --- wie immer gut gelungen. danke
@@cadcamstuff Hvad der ville være af interesse for mig er forskellige bøjningsradier i en metalpladedel og efterfølgende forstørre eksisterende radier. ligesom en tråd kan dimensioneres i tegninger. dette arbejde her --- som altid godt udført. tak skal du have
What would interest me are different bending radii in a sheet metal part and also enlarge existing radii afterwards. just as a thread can be dimensioned in drawings. this work here --- as always well done. Thank you
@@herbertmoessmer5424 Thats a really good point. I never thought of a sheet metal part having 2 bends, each with a different radius. Now i wonder how to do it.
Very cool, I don't do sheet metal but this can be used to build 3d models out of paper or 3D printing. Also cutting wood with laser.Can Fusion 360 do also surface layout optimization when you have to cut the sheets of material? Thank you 😊👍
@@channel0123 The free version just lost a bunch of features to "encourage" people to buy the "real" version. And you can't just buy the "real" version, it's 50 or 60 bucks per month forever. Well, until they decide to change the deal _again._ Lars explains the changes pretty well if you look at his recent video.
Pretty sure it was done because it was to easy for people who should have been paying to lie and get it for free. Don't think they'll come out and say that though. But it seems reasonable.
Thank you as always :) I love the sheet metal stuff. Its amazing how simple and intuitive it now is, compared to when I used to do that sort of stuff 2 decades ago in 2D Autocad! I almost want to go out and find an application for it so I can have a play with it ;) Question: once the design is flattened out, is the output of that to DXF the feature which is now limited to the pro version?
Thank you for watching. Yes, you can still export a sketch as a dxf. You you could project the flat pattern in a sketch and export that. You could also program the part in the 2D CAM workspace and send the code directly to the machine and avoid the dxf.
Great video as always. Is there away for fusion to put in bend parameters of a press brake to know if you can “ACTUALLY “ build the part. I’ve made several sheet metal parts that I had interference with the press brake tooling
That is a good question. The only thing I can think of is to maybe make a part that is the press brake and check if the fold would fit within it. No easy solution
HI Lars, can you help me with a flat pattern? I have tried everything and can't get it to flat pattern. I made a solid body and then created a shell. Is it possible to flat pattern it?
@@spencerhazelwood9355 thanks for the reply. I have tried that, but sheet metal only seems to work with flat and straight parts, I am trying to make a flat pattern of a slightly curved surface so it simply doesn't see it as something that it cam do that with. I was wondering if there is a trick I am missing. If you can help that would be amazing.
Again, not enough explanation and way too quick. Could you not go a little slower? like the way you describe sheet metal rules? i had to watch someone else Fusion youtube videos to understand this, also how on earth did you make the thickness by default, 1 mm? the little things like this cause so much infuriating grief with Fusion, i am a paid licence user btw

I don't work with sheet metal, but watching this gave me some much info for other jobs. Lars, you're a star.
Haha, Thank you so much for the kind words

Thank you, Eric. I'm happy you find the video helpful
Learned lots of stuff, thank you! And I also noticed a little interference between the the door and the bracket.

Awesome video as always. “If you double click on a line, it will select the whole thing” got a whaaaaa?!! from me.
I’ve been using Fusion for a long time, and did not know you could do that.
Likewise! Also, when extruding, just clicking on a surface automatically extrudes to object. Very useful.
Awesome, thanks Lars! +1 for the woodworking question. Recent update has an extension for laying out parts on a ‘sheet’. Forgot what its called.
The new arrange function. Yes, I will have to cover that the best I can when I get to the manufacturing workspace. I think the next video will be assemblies
I hope they keep to their word on the licence more sheet metal please Lars
There really should be an embossing tool for sheet metal. For the dimple.
Hi, i'm new to Fusion. this tutorial really inspired me a lot. this example showed really a lot of tools and possibilities. Thanks a lot
The dimple trick doesn't factor in the material thickness. The inner side should be larger than the outside.
Are there any changes related to woodworking and if so are you planning a video describing them?
I think that comes down to what you are trying to do. I covered What's New in Parts in the last few videos. That applies to woodworking. Next is What's New Assemblies, that could help you build a dresser etc.
You should check JoinerCAD. This is add-inn dedicated for woodworkers.
@@cadcamstuff I was hoping some video about Arrange/Nesting.
@@Grazvius thank you. I will check it out.
You are a top shelf teacher.
Thank you Larsen for the series of episodes that helped me a lot with Fusion 360

Excellent video..always learn something new. Great job!
Great Video Lars! Thanks a lot and keep them coming

You could use something like the boundary fill or boolean operation to do something like that. That would make for a fun video
@@cadcamstuff Thank's Lars. I'll see if I can figure that out :)

That is a good question. I don't remember seeing it on a roadmap, but it has to be on the development teams radar
