For this week’s assignment, it demanded to design a glasses in fusion 360 choosing your own model. The glasses design must be mixed combining two different styles, so i got an idea making a new model glasses different for the ordinary glasses. This idea matters to me because i believe one pair of glasses should serve multiples purpose. I was inspired by modern glasses and bold frames designs on Pinterest, The goal was to create something both unique and wearable.

Preparation process of the 2D part
Preparation process of the 2D part
For this project, it is recommended to design your project in Fusion 360, so using Rule no1, i started creating a new component named it front face1, after i started sketching, designing my glasses using my facial dimensions, started by drawing a rectangle 54*35mm, imagined how I wanted the frame exactly, and then used fillet, after fillet i used offset 2mm. And at the end i made sure to join an arc 8mm for holding the nose, a circle 3mm for the M3 screw and then offset it.
Thirdly After i clicked finish sketch the green icone on the top right, selected the front frame of he glasses and extrude it 3mm compatible for the thickness of the plywood sheet used in the fab lab.
Secondly i draw a line in the middle sizing it 35mm, making it a Linetype construction for the mirror plane. I selected all the lines and then used mirror using the line center as a mirror plane, like that the right side has created and all was fully-defined.
The frame is ready, just adding a new appearance, color for stylish choosing wood cherry.
FINAL RESULT :
And Then i exported the file as DXF, opened the file in RDWorks. I moved the design closer to the top-left corner to match the machine's starting point. I used different colors to tell the machine what to do:
Black for cutting :
I used 25 for speed in order to cut precisely with a good power 55 and it passed well because the machine didn't work with speed 45, it cutted wrongly so the fab lab specialist adviced me to reduce the power and made it 25.
Blue for speedcut :
for 3mm ply sheet it is recommended to use 300 for speed for engraving fastly witn stylish the lines arround the circles and 12 for power.
I made sure the cutting happens at the end to keep the shape clean. After that, I saved the file in rld format, which the laser machine can read.
Preparation process of the 3D part
Preparation process of the 3D part
Firstly, I created a new component named it side arm, creating a sketch, drawing a rectangle sized 70*25mm, joining an arc 7mm at the end as the mount which go behind the ears and connect to the circle.
Again I created an offset plane selecting the front of the side arm this time for distance 3mm for creating a new sketch on the plane, drawing a center rectangle 4*4mm to be adjustable for the circle 3mm.
And then i clicked finish sketch the green icone on the top right, selected the side arm of he glasses and extrude it 1mm to be thin .
After, i finished the sketch, clicked on Loft selecting the top side arm as a profile 1 and the rectangle as a profile 2 and the top side arm had joined with the rectangle. And at the last i made the hole for M3 screws using extrude -2mm ( operation : cut)
And next i used fillet and chamber on the side arm to make the part stronger and less likely to break.
Finally, i create an offset plane on the top of the side arm distance 3mm for mirroring the side arm and make it the other branch of the glasses.
As a result, the tow arms are oustanding and together side by side.
First, I saved it as merch and exported as stl file.
After downloading the design in STL format, I opened it in Cura, selected the machine, and Adjusting the values I want to print with. Infill 20%, Resolution 0.2mm, with support type normal, placement touching buildplate. After slicing, it took 5 grams, 1.5m filaments, and 34 minutes, and saved to desk.

The fab lab specialist suggested me to use speed 25 for opperation cut in laser cut machine in order to cut my glasses very precisely and to avoid from breaking because the holding nose of my glasses was so thin that it can break easily.

The biggest problem was the fully-defined, how to make my sketch fully-defined in fusion 360, i didn't make my sketch fully-defined so i relied on intenet, google seraching how to make your sketch fully-defined. After hours and many searches i found a video tutorial explaining well in french and thank god i got it and right now i did in the blink of an eye. But the problem is when you export on dxf and tried on laser cut machine, it doesn't get out as usually previewed so you have to align your sketch in one as it was all joined and make it one in fusion 360.

As right this week'assignement i designed a glasses in fusion 360 and brought in life with the help of 3D printer and laser cut , i will also design my final project in fusion 360 and bring it in life with the help of the machines.
WOW!
WOW!

There’s no better feeling in the world than turning your own sketch into something real from an idea in your mind to a design in your hands. Truly proud and happy for myself taking part in maker-diploma.
