3D Design: How To Design Honeycomb Patterns In Fusion 360

[@DavidPutzolu]

Great approach that makes use of rectangular pattern + directions in sketches. This is the best way to make honeycombs I've seen - much better than the other videos, plus short and to the point without having unnecessary filler time.

[@MatthewBowe]

Rather than delete the center line used to locate the hexagon, I recommend changing its 'line type' to construction. It allows faces to remain selectable as expected while also maintaining reference geometry.

[@johnfellers5691]

This is such a perfectly made video to understand how to do this. Thank you for creating it for "all of us"!

[@MoeReefs]

OMG your a genius. All the other tutorials on honeycomb are ridiculous. Your method skips like 10 steps ahead. Thank you!!

[@Themakersworkbench]

Happy to help!

[@wesselsi3791]

i have been using fusion360 for 6 months now and i did not know you could select a direction with the rectangular pattern tool, and that you can pull it 2 ways. Thank you in advance for saving my time in the future!

[@brianh4676]

perfect. Right to the point without being boring or confusing. Keep up the good work.

[@Themakersworkbench]

Thank you!

[@DDizzy1SHORTS]

Holy. This has been helpful beyond for belief. I've been using fusion for years and have been doing it the hard way since.

[@JFK3-1]

Nice use of patterns. I would probably extrude the interior webbing first. Then do a second sketch and hit P to Project the two circles onto the new sketch and then finish and extrude the outer circle. No individual deleting.

[@aaronmccombs4966]

Excellent, I could follow your clear and concise instructions, and apply the honeycomb pattern to my electronics enclosure. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Have a nice day, sir.

[@EarlyBirdArms]

Best method I have seen yet. Thank you for this tutorial 🙏

[@dogeforever8418]

this was so helpful im new to fusion 360 and just got the hang of sketching and this helped me a lot!

[@volkhen0]

I've seen few videos how to do it and this one is the best.

[@bradnelson3595]

Thank you for a clear tutorial. I hope you do more like that.

[@TreDBacon]

Thank you for your tutorial, short and concise! I preferred as suggested by another user to not delete the centerl line of the hexagon instead i turned it into a construction line. In addition I created 2 functions (hexagon thickness and distance between hexagons) in order to make the pattern parametric, now it's a pleasure to make hexagonal patterns and edit them in a few clicks.

[@Themakersworkbench]

You're welcome!

[@patrickcarpenter1102]

Thanks for a very helpful video. It makes creating a honeycomb pattern easy to follow for this or other applications.

[@ThatGuy-ou4ev]

This is the best method I've seen thus far. The other methods are a lot more involved.

[@stavart13]

Very helpful and in particular you solved my spacing issue, your method is the quickest and easiest, THANK YOU

[@bent3bent]

How would you do something like this but with a circle instead of a hexagon? Thought it would be the same process, but I can't select the circle when doing the pattern.

[@cookedaudio]

Wow, thanks so much. I was doing this in a much jankier way! Much appreciated! -JC

[@Opus-33]

I learn so much in 8 min. Thank you, Mr :D

[@leonardoinhoqui]

How do I make an exact measurement of 0.44 between them?

[@j.g545]

easier and faster if you extrude the middle polygon then use the pattern on the extrude feature

[@nichols1741]

How do i extrude the outer wall to a different height than the middle honeycomb pattern?

[@tpm369]

Keep making videos like this!

[@bobenc0]

Thanks ! Today I've learned something new ! Great tutorial!

[@Themakersworkbench]

Thank you!

[@CliffordMusante]

Great job. I found this very helpful.

[@relapsetackle]

Great video! I've been wanting to get into 3D printing and designing lure molds. I will be watching a lot more of your tutorials.

[@kt323]

Awesome video mate, thank you for the great tutorial!

[@pcdc1337]

Thank you for this perfect straightforward tutorial.

[@antoha607]

best tutorial. thanks

[@VisualReversal]

Thank you! This was very helpful and very easy to follow.

[@Amarand]

Fantastic tutorial!

[@aligatoryisus9865]

Thank you so much ,It was really useful

[@Themakersworkbench]

Glad to hear that

[@ottovp]

you saved my pc from flying out of the window.

[@vanhelzer22]

I appreciate your efforts. thank you!

[@diethylmalonate]

My trim function doesn't detect the intersection between the honeycomb and the boundary lines, and the extrude tool can only select the entire inner area, what am I doing wrong?

[@luismiranda6906]

The free edition does not have the polygon options?

[@Themakersworkbench]

You're comment is incorrect. Using the free version of Fusion360, In the sketch workspace, if you click the create dropdown, you will see the polygon option, and if you click the arrow beside it, you will see the polygon options. Here's a screenshot showing that the polygons are there as of 4/21/2024 using Fusion version 2.0.18961. imgur.com/a/C3OVpYj

[@Bobbakerfield]

Nicely done

[@gautierreynes9237]

Thanks a ton !!

[@3ddruck410]

thx for the good tutorial

[@FictionFactoryOfficial]

thanks for the tutorial, it was very helpful

[@IzoFoxUA]

thanks! It's easy, when you describe :)

[@MakerDan55]

Super helpful. Thanks.

[@Themakersworkbench]

Glad it was helpful!

[@BlenderRender1]

Thanks, I am making thumbsticks for my FPV drone controller, and I needed some grip for the thumbsticks.

[@bacartibacarti9182]

Super 👍

[@sfrskz]

finally i learned it. thank you

[@FarmGarageSolutions]

Thank you!

[@FreedomFactory3D]

Good video, strait to the point, thank you it helped me allot.

[@Themakersworkbench]

Glad the video was able to help you! Thank you for watching!

[@pawanpandit4724]

Very helpful

[@jack53104]

You can select honeycombs and delete them from sketch after finishing the pattern :)

[@jackmcgrath9570]

I would've used geometric pattern

[@pattygq]

Instead of suppressing the unwanted ones, just create the pattern and OK it. Go back with the selection tool, select multiple at once, and delete them.

[@m.s.idrischannel5655]

thanks, much2 easier method

[@JuniorSousaBr]

TOPPPPP

[@Kimitsu_666]

👍👍👍💚

[@maxseveroff4568]

[@DracLtr]

This is bad workflow. Pattern is made primarily in the volume modeling environment (Solid tab), not in sketch. In addition, it is faster and more convenient.

[@Themakersworkbench]

There are many ways to accomplish the same task. This is one and works well for those of us who design our models in the sketch space first.

[@worldOFfans]

inches 💀💀💀

[@fetthunderdome]

"6 sides polygon" for American people. For the rest of the world it's an exagon.

[@beepboop8184]

Designin not in metric? Are you kidding?

[@Themakersworkbench]

I'm American, and 93% of my audience is American. I will include metric measurements in the next video.

[@jeremy6384]

a very delayed start.

[@keptleroymg6877]

bad method manual

[@AM-jw1lo]

Thanks, but why do you have background noise when you are filming? most annoying.

[@fullydimension]

thank you, this is really useful!
