3D Exercise 57

Exercise 57

In this CAD tutorial we'll use the features: 

1. Revolve

Definition: Creates a solid body by rotating a sketch profile around a selected axis. How it works: You draw half of the cross-section (the profile) and a center line (the axis). Fusion 360 spins that profile 360° to create the 3D shape. Best for: Creating cylindrical parts like cups, pulleys, flanges, or vases.

2. Sweep

Definition: Extrudes a sketch profile along a specific curved path. How it works: You need two sketches:

1. The Profile: The shape you want to extrude (e.g., a circle).

2. The Path: The line or curve the shape follows (e.g., an S-curve). Fusion takes the circle and drags it along the S-curve to create a bent tube. Best for: Wires, cables, bent pipes, paperclips, or ergonomic handles.

   
   

3. Shell

Definition: Hollows out a solid body, leaving thin walls. How it works: You start with a solid block (or a solid sweep). You select the faces you want to "remove" (like the top of a cup) and set a wall thickness. Fusion 360 scoops out the inside automatically. Best for: Turning solid shapes into containers, bottles, or hollow piping systems.

4. Fillet

Definition: Rounds the sharp edges where faces meet. How it works: You select the edge, and Fusion applies a radius to smooth the transition. Best for: Strengthening the connection between two joined shapes (like where a handle meets a cup) and removing sharp corners.
