Fusion 360 Resources

Using the dataset below, assemble the provided components to create the motion shown. https://a360.co/3HleOEh

This tutorial leads you through the process of creating components from bodies in order to create an assembly that enables motion. In this tutorial, you perform the following actions: Create components from bodies and organizing components within subassemblies. Create a series of As-built Joints to enable motion within the assembly. Fix the motion of an … Read more

When working with a bottom-up strategy, the components in an assembly are made independent of one another before being inserted into the same design. When in the same design, you can position the components correctly and manually add joints to define how components move relative to each other. In this tutorial, you add joints to … Read more

In the Design workspace in Fusion 360, you can create joints between components in an assembly. A Joint is a mechanical relationship that defines the relative position and motion between 2 components in an assembly. As you design an assembly with moving components, simulating motion is an important part of the prototyping process. In Fusion 360, joints reduce the … Read more

Use the steps below to create a photo frame that can be customized to any size. Using four variables, or parameters, we will define the size and shape of the frame. By creating a fully defined (i.e. constrained, or closed) sketch, our design can easily scale to other sizes. Click here to preview or download … Read more

Find the total area of the shaded area. The final sketch should be fully closed (constrained) Resources

Parameters in values One great advantage of computer-aided design, as compared to other non-CAD programs, is the ability to parameterize the attributes (e.g. length of a line, number of copies of an object, offset distance from a plane) of the design. Just like in algebra, we can substitute real values for variables (referred to as … Read more

Constraints in sketches The tools in the Sketch > Constraints panel let you constrain sketches by controlling the relative position of sketch geometry in Fusion 360. You can use the following commands to constrain sketches: Horizontal/Vertical  Coincident  Tangent  Equal  Parallel  Perpendicular  Fix/UnFix  Midpoint  Concentric  Collinear  Symmetry  Curvature  Note: Before you can create sketch geometry, you must use the Create … Read more

The spline tools in the Sketch > Create panel let you create different types of splines as sketch geometry or construction geometry in an active sketch in Fusion 360. A spline is a smooth, freeform curve that passes through or near a set of points that influence the shape of the curve. There are two kinds of … Read more

The slot tools in the Sketch > Create panel let you create different types of slots as sketch geometry or construction geometry in an active sketch in Fusion 360.

The polygon tools in the Sketch > Create panel let you create different types of polygons as sketch geometry or construction geometry in an active sketch in Fusion 360.

The arc tools in the Sketch > Create panel let you create different types of arcs as sketch geometry or construction geometry in an active sketch in Fusion 360.

The circle tools in the Sketch > Create panel let you create different types of circles as sketch geometry or construction geometry in an active sketch in Fusion 360.Center Diameter Circle  You click to place the center point, then specify the diameter.

The rectangle tools in the Sketch > Create panel let you create different types of rectangles as sketch geometry or construction geometry in an active sketch in Fusion 360.

The Line  tool in the Sketch > Create panel lets you create a connected series of lines and arcs as sketch geometry or construction geometry in an active sketch in Fusion 360. The Point tool in the Sketch > Create panel lets you place a single point in space. Placing a singularly point is a useful technique when you … Read more

You can create sketch geometry in Fusion 360, in relation to the XY, YZ, and ZX origin planes, or at any plane in 3D space, to drive the shape and size of the bodies in your design. Sketches are comprised of two-dimensional geometry like lines, circles, arcs, points, and splines. Sketches are created on a … Read more
