Fusion 360 Sheet Metal Flat Pattern

With fusion 360 you can import a hand sketch or a photograph as a reference sketch and use fusion sculpt to expand on your ideas creating smooth and precise curved 3d modeling surfaces.

Fusion 360 sheet metal flat pattern.

Re assignment of the sheet metal rules for the resulting component will not be possible. Select the stationary face. Once you ve got it hop over to the drawings workspace and create a drawing from the design. With fusion 360 sheet metal features you can design for manufacturing right from the start creating a flat pattern for sheet metal design projects.

An example of the procedure for a sat file is presented in the screencast below. Fusion 360 has released the sheet metal modeling environment. To do that create the sheet metal part from scratch in fusion 360. While there is not currently a way to fully omit bend lines from a 2d drawing of a sheet metal flat pattern in fusion 360 there are a number of ways to work around this limitation.

Sheet metal bodies with multiple radii curves or arcs in the sketch. Notice that the representation is now a flat pattern. Create a small flat tab somewhere on your design that can be cut off during manufacturing and use that as the stationary face for the flat pattern. Go to modify flat pattern.

How to make flat patterns for rolled sheet metal designs. Omit bend extent lines omitting bend extent lines will not fully remove bend lines but will give only one line per bend rather than three.
