Steel stainless steel and aluminium both in metric and imperial values.

Fusion 360 sheet metal cone.

How to loft from two sketched circles one smaller than the other to create a cone shape. Fusion 360 is the only tool to integrate design to manufacture. Create only one half of the nose cone curve and maintain a standard axis reference say using the y axis as the rotation point. Then shell the cone to make it hollow.

Fusion 360 promises to integrate the product development process from design to production. But fusion 360 doesn t just integrate the process from design to flat pattern. This integration ensures a design change made anywhere in the process from concept to production will reflect everywhere. Now you get why fusion 360 s sheet metal is different.

Fusion 360 comes with a default library of sheetmetal rules. Rather than being a tool for design to flat pattern fusion 360 will be a tool that integrates design to manufacture. Old user interface prior to august 2019 update. I will go through each step in this instructable.

Extruding text around a cylinder use to be a tedious process with fusion 360. Fusion 360 supports this action directly. After experimenting with the new sheet metal environment i found a much simpler way of accomplishing this task. I will update this post when it happens.

There is no option to access the sheet metal tab in the fusion 360 design toolbar. If you want to know more about emboss and other applications this new operation is already updated in my online course fusion 360 nivel 1 in spanish. In the sculpt workspace choose create revolve. In the new ui the sheet metal environment is located in the tabs above the icons.

The process is called revolve. If sheet metal does not appear there enable parametric modeling mode by capturing design history. It basically involves creating a cylinder flattening it writing and extruding our text and then re folding it. The default is steel but you can change it to either one of the other rules or you can create a new rule and make that the default.
