360 LIVE: Sheet Metal Tips & Tricks with Wayne!

[@pepperjohn2]

Thank you, Wayne!! The tapered sheet metal flange is EXACTLY what I've been struggling with for like two weeks. This approach is perfect!

[@elijahcbr6009]

Thanks the tapered flange is what i was looking for. So much easier your way. Thank you!!!!

[@spencergreen8409]

The first tip is epic! Thanks

[@varunkrit4422]

Hi Wayne, I wonder if you got any tutorial on box section tube unfolded. The curved one. It will be a great help if you can show us how you unfolded it. Thank you

[@Mtnmanmike62]

Quick question: How do you expect a machine operator to make some of these parts? Having owned a precision fabrication business for twenty years,, I've seen hundreds of "impossible parts", designed by people who had no idea what it takes to make a part. I can't wait until software will be advanced enough to say, "No!, Stop it!"

[@derekrussell9925]

Fantastic video! Thanks so much. Very useful!

[@michalstecher9865]

Hi Wayne. Please how you create the flat hem on yor first model? Thank you

[@BeauTurner]

Wayne this was full of many great tips and was super helpful! Thank you.

[@carl160269]

Can I just add to the method you used for the tapered flange. The way you did it would leave the edges (the ones to be lasercut) tapered rather then normal to the sheet; In itself maybe not a problem, but Fusion has problems exporting a flat pattern like this. A better way is to use thickened surfaces which do produce normal edges. You can then convert to sheet metal just like you showed. Cool video though - Nice to see Sheetmetal getting some love.

[@gustafkjellgren1600]

The thicken surface tool is very helpful. Its important to get a normal cut, ore the dxf exports will be a nightmare.

[@ianpendlebury3704]

Some great tips in there - especially the conversion to sheet metal trick!. Thanks.

[@adskFusion]

Thanks again for coming out, Ian!

[@mjulson]

When is Fusion 360 live? I’ve searched for several times and can’t find the schedule. Loved this episode, especially the solid to sheet metal process. Can you please do an in depth episode covering tab and slot of multiple pieces of sheet metal? Much like the google vr goggles, but how do you make the tab/slots so they are accurate?

[@ralphzito7609]

Great sheet metal tips Wayne, really useful!!

[@CR3DT]

I was hoping to learn how to shape the panels, however this video only shows how to import a flat dxf with the shapes already cut, but what if you are designing this in fusion and need to cut the shapes etc. What is the best way to do that. (google vr example)

[@spikekent]

Hey Wayne, Awesome tips, thank you so much.

[@adskFusion]

Thanks Spike! Thrilled to add another great teacher like Wayne to the Live Streams!

[@sergeybob3224]

Thank you so much ! Very useful video !...

[@adskFusion]

Glad you liked it!

[@sergeybob3224]

Thanks for the great work ! Good luck !@@adskFusion

[@MrDaniell1234]

you can use the move tool in sheet metal sometimes it is a bit faster than make a sold to convert to what is needed.

[@adskFusion]

Good call Daniel!

[@bulldozerd9]

can i apply some of these tricks to do a square to round sheetmetal part

[@TheCADWhisperer]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGaqiphnfa6BeJY Something like this?

[@robertomalatesta6604]

Catched up whith the live, late. Amazing stuff Wayne, thanks

[@carl160269]

What Happened to the second half ? With the tool-pathing ?

[@adskFusion]

Hey Carl, that was not shown during this live stream. Maybe next time...but there are definitely videos that you can watch now! See this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6maiKp-fMesaa8

[@wolf9545]

I have been liking all of your Fusion 360 tips and learning a lot. One suggestion to the presenters is to get a shock mount for your microphone. That way when the presenter types / clicks / tabs the table you don't hear a thumping noise in the video. Sometimes it is distracting because you are hearing that over the talking of the presenter.

[@adskFusion]

Thank you so much for this feedback! We're mostly mechanical engineers/machinists and overlook stuff like this!

[@neiljensen9585]

Awesome video!!!!

[@joelsebastian3628]

If you apply flange to a open shape it creates a flange of that profile, not fill

[@harshavardhan4699]

So, guys who are new to fusion 360, The latest version has the function "Convert solid body to sheet metal" to avoid all these steps !!

[@theexplorer7578]

How to aany plane at angle

[@rbhaskin]

Hi Wayne, nice work today... can I make suggestion for next time, try and pace yourself in your presentation speed, meaning slow it down some.... Not quite as slow as Brad T but somewhere in the middle of this live session and Brad's pace would be great.... See you next time!

[@adskFusion]

Appreciated the suggestions! Keep watching and we'll keep improving.

[@jamiebatiste1131]

Have to say I thought the speed was spot on for a video. Live presentation would be different, but as I can rewind, slow down in KZbin the original pace is less critical. Great tips Wayne and co.

[@johnnycardoso1965]

Fantastico! Ótimas dicas.

[@adskFusion]

Feliz por ajudar!

[@tenbears845]

Would this be a solution for say HVAC transition parts

[@TheCADWhisperer]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHLEZ31mhc6appI Once the (Fusion 360) rules of sheet metal are understood - you should be able to model any valid part.

[@Divisionary1]

@tenbears845 Yes, although some HVAC transitions, such as elbows and "Y" connectors would be tricky, this would be a valid option to transform those components and get flat panels for fabrication.

[@rwilson1125]

Feature enhance: select and convert to sheet metal. Ha ha. Learned a lot.

[@adskFusion]

We may have just the thing in the works.

[@arshadhussain5212]

sir you are Great teche from pakistan

[@zackndawng2557]

Thank

[@stuffandthings8767]

yeah the trick for tapered flanges doesn't work

[@TheCADWhisperer]

28:27 Wrong. Shell does not return the correct geometry.

[@adskFusion]

Care to elaborate a bit? I don't think there was any trickery involved with this video...it was live afterall!

[@JakeMcIvor]

TLDW: Using Shell will create edges that aren't perpendicular like a true sheet metal part. Using Surfaces and Thicken will create a part that more closely represents the the actual sheet metal part.

[@argentosebastian]

Slow down a bit
