Fusion 360 Sheet Metal Cone

Fusion 360 is the only tool to integrate design to manufacture.

Fusion 360 sheet metal cone.

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. In the new ui the sheet metal environment is located in the tabs above the icons. Create only one half of the nose cone curve and maintain a standard axis reference say using the y axis as the rotation point. There is no option to access the sheet metal tab in the fusion 360 design toolbar.

The process is called revolve. Right click on the top component of the design in the browser tree. But fusion 360 doesn t just integrate the process from design to flat pattern. Now you get why fusion 360 s sheet metal is different.

In the tutorial video we re presented with a cone designed with the revolve shell and cut extrude features. If sheet metal does not appear there enable parametric modeling mode by capturing design history. This integration ensures a design change made anywhere in the process from concept to production will reflect everywhere. Fusion 360 supports this action.
