Let s show how to create sheet metal bends folds flange unfold flat pattern and more.
Fusion 360 sheet metal boat hull pattern.
Fusion 360 has released the sheet metal modeling environment.
The average hack requires at least one angled metal part and the best tool to make one is still the good ol press brake.
Back in january we released sheet metal in a limited preview for fusion 360.
So if it is in fusion it may not be with the sheet metal tools.
Fusion 360 handles flat patterns and unfold in very different ways.
But fusion 360 doesn t just integrate the process from design to flat pattern.
If sheet metal does not appear there enable parametric modeling mode by capturing design history.
I haven t been completely successful which is why i titled this an attempt.
I am posting with the hope that individuals with more fusion 360 than me can tell me if i m headed in the right direction with my approach and if so.
However i have spent hours with fusion 360 trying to understand how i could get the flattened drawings out from it for the cutting machine.
See what happens to a cutout in sheet metal in both the flat pattern mode and the unfold.
In the new ui the sheet metal environment is located in the tabs above the icons.
Now you get why fusion 360 s sheet metal is different.
This integration ensures a design change made anywhere in the process from concept to production will reflect everywhere.
The goal of the preview was to get feedback on sheet metal rules and flange while the team finished work on flatten.
To make this design we will cover creating a base flange adding bends folding and unfolding the design virtually adding holes and other features and creating bending patterns that.

Rules based off research and feedback we have found that people who use sheet metal typically have 5 10 different materials.
This article covers how to get started with sheet metal design in fusion 360.

Old user interface prior to august 2019 update.
There is no option to access the sheet metal tab in the fusion 360 design toolbar.
The example part we will be designing is a bracket for the hitec hs 5065mg servo.
