Routing is the high speed mechanical cutting of woods, plastics, metals, and other resilient materials, using a spinning cutting tool often called a router bit or end mill. Routers can be handheld, table-mounted, or computer-controlled. Any tool with a spinning bit designing to cut perpendicular to the material (laterally) can be considered a routing operation. …
This assignment will help you understand the relationship between 2D shapes and 3D objects. Through the use of pre-made shape generators, 2D CAD in Fusion 360, and a simplified design process, you will design and make a lasercut container. Design Brief Create a small lasercut container from plywood that can hold, display, or otherwise contain …
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 …

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 …
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 …
