Deep Dive into Fusion 360 (Part 1)

Overview

In this project I learned about different tools in Fusion 360. These tools were revolve, sweep and orbit. Sweep allows a flat sketch like a paper clip become 3D. Revolve does a similar thing except it takes the sketch and has the sketch swoop around it self in a 360 degree fashion. The navigation tool that I learned about was orbit which allows you to circle around the object.

Box and Sticker

This is the storage box I cut using a laser cutter and a design given to me by Mrs. Morrow. I had to layers on top of each other. One to cut the box and one to score it. From their I hot glued it together and cut a vinyl sticker to be able to identify my box.

Paper Clip

Through the help of a video I was able to design a paper clip. I used tools such as the sweep tool and a tangent arc.

Root Beer Bottle

Through the help of another video I designed and printed a bottle. First I imported a photo using the canvas tool to use as reference. From their I designed a half sketch of it then used the revolve tool to make it 3d. Then I shelled it and changed its material to glass to make it the design it became.

Issues Encountered

During the designing process of the bottle when I thought the sketch was complete it wasn't. After looking at the different parts of the sketch I found the gap and after adding a line the sketch became full.
