    12:00, Why didn't an automatic bend relief get created like it did for the small tab in the front? Also interested in more complex bent shapes, it is possible with fusion? For example, let's say you wanted to make a pyramid made solely of triangles (vs the Egyptian pyramids which have a square base). Is that possible with Fusion?

    I've wanted to use Fusion360 for sheet metal for a while now so this has been a good intro into doing that. But still don' t know enough for it to be useful for me. I was wondering if/how welded joints are handled? My goal is to create an aluminium box for my a car which would consist of multiple sheet metal parts welded together. What would be the best way to handle this?

    • @timhahn7542
      @timhahn7542 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think you would just make multiple part bodies within the same file. Then you can design one piece in relation to another. Not sure if there's a feature to specify a welded joint. Usually that's just denoted on the 2D drawing of the assembly.

  • @CharlotteOutdoor
    @CharlotteOutdoor 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Is there a way when exporting a flat pattern as a DXF to only export the bend line not the extent lines because they are not in the laser cutting process where the bend line is etched for the press break operator?
    Also it's greatly preferred to export the pattern with the bend line where the majority of the bends are "Bend Up" when the bend lines are down the press brake operator cannot see them on the opposite side of the work sometimes you have no choice but when you do it would be very helpful.

    • @VanDeanCustoms
      @VanDeanCustoms ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Ron, not sure if it's the correct way to do it but the way I do it is...
      Create the flat pattern of your component
      Create new sketch on the face
      Select all of the 'bend extents' and right click 'show/hide'
      Then go to your left hand toolbar and right click the active sketch and 'Save as DXF'
      Hope this helps!

    hi, great tutorail i got to apply so much of what you illustrated to my own design. One question though. Do you have a comprehensive video on exporting files for production purposes. When i open the dxf file (as a pdf), it doesnt show dimensions. In many instances, one would like a metal shop to do manual guillotine cuts and some bends, rather than CAD driven laser cuts. Perhaps you have some advice or you can direct me to one of your tutorials. thanks

    At 7:34 i don't get a round bend relief but a square one. Why is that?

    • @ProductDesignOnline
      @ProductDesignOnline  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      That would likely be due to the Sheet Metal rule. Which one are you using?
      You can edit the rule and change the relief shape OR could edit the Flange feature in the timeline and use the 'override' option. Bend relief shape is one option that you can override/change.
      That said, if you can share your Fusion 360 file I can take a look to double-check something else isn't causing it.

    Hello, I am trying to migrate CAD software from Solidworks to 360 fusion, but I encounter the following problem: when making a sheet cutting in solidworks, regardless of the angle of the sketch in relation to the sheet, the software automatically calculates the cut that will have to be made perpendicular to the sheet. Fusion cuts the sheet following the direction of extrusion of my sketch. Is there a solution to do like Solidworks?

    • @ProductDesignOnline
      @ProductDesignOnline  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks, Flaviano! Unfortunately, Fusion 360 treats sheet metal bodies as unique items. You would need to recreate the wood design with the Flange/other sheet metal tools to be able to unfold it.
      That said, the sheet metal tools are a great way to create boxes and other non-sheet metal parts. I have an older tutorial doing a box demo: th-cam.com/video/V5_ZTZ_DTCc/w-d-xo.html

    Help! Had a problem with the cutouts when unfolded. I sketched the cutout for top and bottom, used the midpoint constraint, drew a construction line for the mirroring. All went well. Then when extruding to cutout on the mirrored side, the entire "bend" was selected and not just the 0.25" sketch. I noticed that the bottom sketch that was mirrored did not have one end of the arc snapped to the edge of the model. How would that happen when mirroring? The original sketch has both endpoints of the arc to the edge of the model. What am I missing here?

    Kevin, I have a question about Components and their sketches...
    When I copy and "Paste New" a component, then move that component, then click "edit sketch", the sketch is where the original component is, not the new component... Why is this true? Why do the sketches not move with the component when the component is moved? Is there a better way, say, if I am trying to create a new component with an existing component, but I don't want them to be linked in any way after the initial copy and move - especially spatially with the sketches appearing on the original component. Is this a bug or oversight, or am I missing something?

    • @ProductDesignOnline
      @ProductDesignOnline  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The Sketches do move with the location of the component. I'm guessing what you're seeing/getting confused with is that when you edit a sketch it will roll your timeline back to that state. If you moved the component after the sketch then the move has not yet happened to the sketch. Also, remember each component has its own origin point. Hope that helps :)

      This specific project was both laser cut and bent by SendCutSend.com (a service I personally use a lot).
      You can do bending at your home if you by a sheet metal brake. For thinner (higher gauge metals) you can get a really cheap $40 one. For thicker metals you'll need a pneumatic one, which is why I use that service :)
