Autodesk Fusion 360 for 3D Printing | Sculpting advanced geometry with pipes

Creating really advanced and smooth geometries, flowing in space is really something I enjoy and the dream is to make a cool set of glasses in the future. Not like these Harry Potter glasses...
Timestaps:
01:00 - What are Forms? How do they work
07:35 - About segmenting the Pipes
11:56 - Practical example (glasses)
Hope you learn a lot about Forms/sculpting in Fusion 360 in this video!

It turns out 86,4% of you are not subbed?! Fix that; geni.us/3DpTDsub

[@budspencer1377]

Nice work 😁 But what is the name of the song at 13:00 its so good

[@MrOO-ix5qr]

ok am trying

[@isaaccauchi9201]

Highly underrated tutorial. I’ve been trying to do all this with extrusions up till now. So glad I came across this thank you man!

[@3DPrintTechDesign]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@danielparis4081]

The music in the background is very distracting, no music is much better.

[@medtuning]

Great tutorial!

[@Morpheus852]

Thanks! Exactly wat i was looking for!

[@prinz1234567890]

Cool stuff! I really liked how you showed the tool in more than one step. first the basics and then an cool example. I already tried this tool but had no idea what awesome stuff you could make with it. hope for more such videos

[@3DPrintTechDesign]

Thanks! That's constructive, I'll try to implement that more often when doing the CAD-alongs =) Enjoy!

[@eatbkaoori]

Really nice tutorial! Thank you for sharing this tool! ;)

[@jhow3d688]

Thanks for making this tutorial, would love to see more!

[@3DPrintTechDesign]

Its coming! Trying to make it a weekly thing!

[@633r]

You can create pipe geometry from the dividing lines on a faces. So you can create a form with the faces. Then select pipe and then select the lines on the face, it will create pipes and it does all the welding stuff

[@SebHaugeto]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing

[@muhammadayyan4256]

Helpfully tool nicily

[@ofiasdfnosdf]

Good stuff, thanks!

[@Nextin3d]

Great Video! Thank you.

[@Iskenderus]

Worth being subscribed to your channel, thanks! And the music ...

[@adamelkoumy5141]

Thank you

[@tylera3711]

Thank u for helping me with my specific ass question

[@reh.4919]

The most useful part is where you show how you fix the inevitable mistakes that occur. Thank you.

[@simontilstedhansen9296]

Dude, you have no idea how much you helped me! I'm from Denmark, so it's nice to see a Scandinavian brother on YT. Nevertheless I subbed:)

[@3DPrintTechDesign]

Ah man! Tusind tak! Hope you can translate the "old" interface to the new 3D-sketching interface. I suppose it should be even better now for creating some free-floating lines =). Glad you enjoy!

[@2facemk648]

Hey cool video, thank you for that. I didn´t know that Justin Biber have skills in Fusion 360 ;-) (no front, just kidding) Greetz from Germany

[@karlfimm]

Very interesting. You didn't mention the [section] icon on the sections tab, that lets you add more sections at a single loop, or fatten and/or twist the pipe at a point.

[@ShaneGadsby]

Awesome tutorials/feature introductions! Another commenter said it too, but I really like the format of the video, first explaining the feature, then doing a demo of the feature - Great!

[@VisualRoot]

increible me suscribo.

[@UDoIt2]

I just signed up for Fusion 360 snd gave it a whirl. I eill be chking out your tutorials more.

[@3DPrintTechDesign]

Love it! More is coming of course!

[@skaffaegensajt]

cool

[@godhasleftthebuilding3224]

' could do w/o the bac'ground no'se - n'ce tutor'al though

[@BetaThings]

Oh my gawd! Fusion is looking sooooo good right now.

[@a.c.fretworks]

Just started using Fusion 360 and I'm completely new to CAD/CAM. Like as in 3 days ago was my first time ever. Just curious as to how one would take a body like you made in this video and make a mirror copy of it so it would maintain symmetry along a center construction line. I know I'll catch on to all the features and functions at some point but for now I have to ask. Please post a link to a video containing that subject if possible. Thank you!

[@thomasrotten]

Fantastic video.... But please drop the music

[@3DPrintTechDesign]

Will do for next ones =)

[@andrewmorris9499]

Can you make the area you creased planar?

[@PiratFrames]

Hello. I do not find how to reproduce this tutorial. the pipe tool has been simplified. is there any way to get that with the new merge version?

[@3DPrintTechDesign]

Interesting! I'll have to investigate the new updates to see if there's something I can redo it with.

[@budspencer1377]

Song at 13:00 ?

[@jimrainey1518]

Hi Taylor: am trying to 3d print a RC model of the Ford Triplane and am having a problem importing a plans from the internet. They are easy to find but I cant get it into Fusion. Can U please show me how. Jim R

[@3DPrintTechDesign]

Hi Jim, I assume you're talking about 2D-drawings? This should maybe help? otherwise let me know what type of plans you're talking about :) - knowledge.autodesk.com/support/fusion-360/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/ENU/Fusion-Form/files/GUID-E6389C1A-CF8D-48AD-A87D-B3278AFC2EEF-htm.html

[@GENcELL2014]

I played around with pipe command quite a bit, but found I couldn't make some geometry the way I needed it. The simplest example is two sketch circles where they are are on the same plane right next to each other, there perimeters are touching in one place. If you look at where they touch in the square prism view the square prisms faces are coming together. How can I specify if the square prisms need to touch with edges not faces? Here's a more complex example. If two planes are made perpendiculat to each other or 90 degrees apart with two circles per plane and all 4 circles touch in one point, two circles on one planes square prisms meet with edges and the other circles square prisms that are on the plane perpendicular to the first meet with faces. In this case the geometry only works if all four circles square prisms all meet with edges or all meet with faces, not half faces half edges. Do you know if that level of control exists?

[@JD2jr.]

You just need to plan in an offset half the size of your pipe diameter.

[@GENcELL2014]

James Dreger I'll give that a try, thanks!

[@GENcELL2014]

wow, learned something intriguing about the pipe tool and offsetting intersecting circles. It turns out using an offset half the size of desired pipe diameter gives fugly results. As offset increases the lines creating the face segments throughout the pipes meet up more diagonally(spiral pattern). The smaller the offset the more parallel they become, giving me the required geometry where all faces or all edge lines come together. Using asymmetrical offsets or having different offsets for each plane with two circles gets rid of weird stuff around the intersection area. I used a 1 micron or .001 mm offset for two circles on one plane and an offset of .031mm(random # used when I kept dividing the offset based off of globe diameter, could be smaller) for the second two circles on a plane perpendicular to the first, curve tolerance of .002 mm, global diameter of .5 mm around circles with diameters of 20 mm. Those setting made all the face edges parallel, and minimal amounts of weird stuff where the intersection is which is actually two 8 way intersection points not one 8 way intersection, the asymmetrical offset creates four 4 way intersections. Thanks for the tip that let me grasp some subtle concepts about the pipe tool, cheers. Although It won't come out of the free form environment and repair tool is having troubles, so 1 step forward geometrically but still fighting the software.

[@Vivvi1975]

Tjena Anton! Eftersom det finns såå många tut's om hur man använder F360 på engelska här på YT, kan du inte göra dem på svenska? Vill verkligen lära mig mer hur det fungerar, utan att behöva vässa hjärnan varje gång jag vill ta reda på hur man använder olika verktyg när jag får en designidé.

[@3DPrintTechDesign]

Tjenare! Har en plan på gång med en hemsida och innehåll för att lära ut 3D-printing på svenska, lite enklare för alla =)

[@shangen2783]

The music tho

[@shguevara]

Good content and keep it up but don't add background music moving forward

[@3DPrintTechDesign]

Thanks! I'm avoiding it haha 😁

[@Linktw0]

omg that freakibg music. what a waste of a perfectly good tutorial. [-edit:] okay sorry i spoke too soon.. it was only in the beginning lol. the rest was fine. god i hate that first song, whats it called? "500 Best ever Of 2018 Most Amazing homemade Lifehacks DIY power tool Mods can do Horribly Wrong At Home, that you never knew you didn't believe ever actually didn't exist compilation" - by: "Cpt. Clickbait & the plugbot crew"? 😂 But jokes aside, you made a great demo and i really enjoyed your presentation and editing work. plus learned a few useful new tricks too, so thx keep it up cheers

[@mikebeta2909]

Awesome video, thank you. Please remove the music, it's a great destruction when focusing on a matter. Thanks man

[@3DPrintTechDesign]

it cant be removed after an upload :) thanks tho!

[@davidchanget2563]

so basically if you dont have a secondary nav mouse 3d sketching isnt really practical?

[@3DPrintTechDesign]

You can still navigate around without a second nav mouse, but atleast I feel it's easier. 3D Sketching is a bit wierd (still) and although Autodesk have done updates to simplify the workflow, I still only use it for very specific, abstract things.

[@07745343536]

can't hack the music

[@genin69]

cool video I would just totally drop the music. so annoying

[@GerhardAEUhlhorn]

Nice video! :-) But the „music“ in the background bothers.

[@3DPrintTechDesign]

Roger! I've removed music in most future videos from feedback. Cant fix it after it's done tho :( Hoep the video was helpful anyways

[@GerhardAEUhlhorn]

Yes, the video is very helpful! :-)

[@efecan1990]

now show us how to connect those edges smoothly cuz right now it looks like crap

[@mplussant]

…you look EXACTLY like the guy at WORKSHOP JUNKIES!…

[@Ray-ej3jb]

Background music REALLY annoying when you're trying to listen to what you're saying

[@3DPrintTechDesign]

Thanks for feedback! I've heard that from many others and will update in the future, can't do much now unfortunately :).

[@facundoalvarezfuentes2322]

I have been making soft for about 3 years, but I thought it might be a good idea to take a refresher course by watcNice tutorialng tNice tutorials video.

[@NourMuhammad]

I am struggling because the background music is very distracting! Remove the music !

[@3DPrintTechDesign]

I've heard it and improve in later videos :) cant remove in a previous video unfortunately.

[@Flix-f6q]

To reduce distraction in future videos, don´t play music in the background. When you want to show an example, as starting at 1:28 or at 10:53, do it in a separate part with nothing else on the screen. It is really tiring to watch someone else moving a cad model, especially if you are not using a 3d mouse, to reduce that, always turn off the grid. Also, you should ask yourself "What do I want to show?" , name it and then show only this and do not play around. It would also be awesome to show the result the beginning of the video. Don´t say your design is ugly. This is also distracting. Stick to the content.

[@Flix-f6q]

@@Rmamkmjm dokuwiki.garage-lab.de/fusion_360_tutorials not my tutorials, but I did the website. No english version at the moment and Google translate destroys the links, please keep that in mind. And yes, I did it for free. Why the burn when I give constructive feedback?

[@genial6589]

Background music, please turn it off!

[@3DPrintTechDesign]

Video is more than a year old. But you're correct. If I could, I would turn it off. Sounded OK when I made it. Hope you can learn something anyways =)

[@hardythomashardy]

La musique est trop forte et vraiment à chi_er

[@erosangelos9422]

Hello ! I mark as Like for your video coz its very good and helpful but CUT OUT THE NONSENSE MUSIC PLEASE,,, we Need Just Your Voice and Knowledge Sharing but not the music. I stop watching in 3 minutes ...if you have the same video without music please let me know , Appreciate for your"e sharing))

[@3DPrintTechDesign]

Thanks, I wish I could go back and edit the upload, but I can't =/. I've learnt to balance the sound much more since this video. Thank you😁

[@ericcsuf]

What exactly are you trying to accomplish with the music? There is no music in classrooms. No music at lectures. No music at seminars. You're giving a technical presentation, not an exercise video. Looks like your content would be interesting, but it's just too difficult to understand you over the music.

[@3DPrintTechDesign]

Yup, rookie mistake with music. Can't be removed afterwards unfortunately.

[@jamesbarratt593]

Way too fast. Music distracting. You know the music. I don’t so my mind is trying to listen and learn. Then your accent adds to it. Without music accent fine. Get the picture?

[@bobp5776]

Too fast for me

[@drumbum7999]

play video at 0.75 or 0.5 speed then. the option to do that is in the little gear in the video window

[@bobp5776]

Thanks, That helps
