Fusion 360 Sheet Metal Cone

Now you get why fusion 360 s sheet metal is different.

Fusion 360 sheet metal cone.

In the tutorial video we re presented with a cone designed with the revolve shell and cut extrude features. There is no option to access the sheet metal tab in the fusion 360 design toolbar. Old user interface prior to august 2019 update. But fusion 360 doesn t just integrate the process from design to flat pattern.

Then shell the cone to make it hollow. Create a single line sketch that would represent the desired curve starting from in this example the nose of the cone and traveling to the base. The process is called revolve. When applying the insert bends feature located on the sheet metal toolbar or from the insert dropdown menu under sheet metal solidworks tells us a non linear edge at the seam of this cone is invalid.

Fusion 360 is the only tool to integrate design to manufacture. If sheet metal does not appear there enable parametric modeling mode by capturing design history. Fusion 360 supports this action. Right click on the top component of the design in the browser tree.

In the new ui the sheet metal environment is located in the tabs above the icons.
