Fusion360 - Laying out flat sheet components to prepare for CAM

Autodesk Fusion 360 evangelist Taylor Stein designed this piece with a great tutorial. I taken it one step further and demonstrated how to lay out the parts ready for machining.

Soooooooo many tutorials spend half (or more than half in some case) saying in this video we will be doing a tutorial about XYZ and then they repeat themselves before going onto the shill part where they do “and today’s sponsor is blah blah blah” followed by yet ANOTHER repeat that today’s tutorial will be XYZ. I swear that most tutorials I come across are like that.... thank god for your simple and straight to the point tutorial. Subscribed.

Thanks this was extremely useful for my project !

[@drumbum7999]

autodesk has a program called slicer. look it up

[@bluebaconjake405]

Wintergatan ? Wow

[@TheOfficialCzex]

What a pleasant surprise!

[@add859tankionline]

Is their really no automated version of this? Because this seems like this is a work around. I would totally love if the Fusion team could have a flatten tool to do this as it would be insanely useful for more complicated projects that have more than 3 components lmao.

I love your grid layout and how to auto adjusts

[@MasterCarCenter]

If your original moves when you align the copy read this. Took me a while to figure this out so I'm leaving this here for newbies like me:
When you align, make sure the object type is COMPONENTS not BODIES. If you select bodies the original will move too, if you select component it will move independently.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!! almost threw my computer.

[@tyebraun]

how do i save this cam layout seperately so i can send it as a nest to my waterjet guy? this video ends before that

[@klavsvasilis]

Oh man, thanks!!! about an hour for me till starting to search comments :D

[@TylerHarney]

OMG thank you! I was going crazy and had to come back to this video a couple times to rewatch!

[@triangulatedcircle]

Thanks a lot

[@circuitguy9750]

Thank you for the tutorial. The duplicated/linked components for CAM are a great idea.

[@fotballski]

Perfect, just what I was looking for. Bravo!

[@mrfrieze]

Maybe you can help me. I'm applying your method when trying to lay out my project for cam. But it moves the original model when i'm moving the copy for cam. Any Ideas?

[@danielkitson6878]

great video just what i was looking for, thanks daniel

[@clonephone82]

Hello,
Really great video I am using your approach but I have some problem. So I lay down all the components but after I moved and rotate them I also get rotated and moved components in the 3D model.

[@todbot]

Thank you! This has been very helpful.

[@andrewbarker1190]

Great tutorial. Fancy following on your own tutorial and showing novices how to do the tool paths? Especially in the correct order? (ie. Make sure you cut the cross and circle out of the seat top, before cutting the seat top itself out of the piece of ply?) Maybe even show us the whole piece of ply as geometry/extents for the cuts.
Oh yeah, I forgot, please.

[@1bulldog998]

how did u turn them all blue at once cant get it to work

[@dennisrkb]

is there a way to export the layed-out pieces as a vector graphic for cutting/routing in a 3rd party application?

[@hansdietrich83]

project them into a sketch and export the sketch as svg

[@roderickhogan1443]

Much appreciated. Thx!

[@mashehsolo1696]

Good sir
