Fusion 360 Sheet Metal Thickness

Let s show how to create sheet metal bends folds flange unfold flat pattern and more.

Fusion 360 sheet metal thickness.

Thickness bend radius k factor relief shapes etc. Fusion 360 has released the sheet metal modeling environment. Fusion 360 comes with a default library of sheetmetal rules. Sheet metal thickness is typically specified as a gauge rather than a direct measurement as it is presented in fusion 360.

For this project i am using 18 gauge aluminum 5052 which is 1 02mm thick. Fusion 360 has all the necessary tools to specify different rules for your sheet metal parts thickness bend radius corner relief etc now here is the fun part actually making some sheet metal. We re calling these sheet metal rules in fusion 360. Our intention is to provide you a simple way to build your library by providing you with a handful of starter rules you can copy edit and save to your library.

Your sheet metal manufacturer or supplier should have a document detailing the availability of sheet metal gauges in different materials. The sheet metal rules in fusion 360 helps control the different sheet metal settings like thickness bend radius and reliefs. Properties are the root of how sheet metal designs behave. Steel stainless steel and aluminium both in metric and imperial values.
