Let s show how to create sheet metal bends folds flange unfold flat pattern and more.
Fusion 360 convert to sheet metal.
Did you know that fusion 360 can convert your imported solid model to a sheet metal body.
Traditional cad tools only take your sheet metal design from concept to dxf without integrating an expensive 3rd party add in.
But fusion 360 doesn t just integrate the process from design to flat pattern.
I ve drawn some brackets to hold members together.
Fusion 360 is the only tool to integrate design to manufacture.
This video shows how to use an imported step file in autodesk inventor as the basis for a sheet metal flat pattern.
As you create your sheet metal parts within the same file you will want to make them components instead of bodies since assembly joints cannot be placed between bodies.
I would love for fusion 360 to bring this over from inventor.
When designing sheet metal assemblies it is often advantageous to create parts in the context of existing parts.
The goal is to create an actual physical product.
1 convert to single solid.
Fusion 360 has released the sheet metal modeling environment.
What we need to achieve.
Convert body to sheet metal.

1 create a part with only 1 solid body flat pattern requirement 2 convert imported solids into inventor objects 3 set the sheet metal thickness to match the part steps.
This quick tip covers a workflow of importing the model automatica.
Autodesk has recently released an update to fusion 360 which includes a sheet metal modeling environment.
I used to use inventor and that software had a feature that allowed you to convert an extruded shape to sheet metal.
So often you extrude a shape and then wish you working in sheet metal mode.
