Fusion 360 | Flex design

Awesome technique. You keep finding ways to solves complex geometry problems with the common simple functions of the fusion toolbox.

[@nrdesign1991]

That is super smart! Thank you so much for showing us these workflows.

I've never made use of the sheet metal tools as I haven't needed to model sheet metal. This use was an eye opener into something cool.

[@ZenoErwt]

Another great video! You just earned yourself another patreon 👊

[@tmdsparrow85]

Thank you very much for the explanation! The only thing is that metal sheet needs a flat surface and does not work on totaly curved ones. And if we need to have it totaly curved end to end then I think we need to add a flat surface and then after finishing we can remove it.

[@gillisdebilio7086]

Good thinking, add your flat surface to be 0.01mm long. It will be unoticable after the production process, eliminating the need for cutting that extra material.

can you make a video about ducts like for the 3d printer nozzle cooling

[@CraigHollabaugh]

Excellent example, thank you.

[@ruudb72]

Nice man! Thanks for the demonstration!

[@RyanKirk99]

Great tutorial thank you!

[@asdfgh98349]

Thank you!

[@americorosales2085]

thanks very interesting your tutorial always your shows something new for me

[@lukafh]

Thank You very much for Your work!

[@joshuavincent7884]

Another great videos, thanks

[@gordon6029]

Never did this before, thank you.

[@KraftsyDE]

just curious about the width of the flex - where the connectors are, is bit wider than on flexion is there a rule how determinate dimensions ? Anyway Interesting content 🙂

Прекрасно, как и всегда!

@Fusion 360 School, why does it seem like your camera smoothly transitions from one point to another? Is there a setting to make it jump to certain places like in the video?

[@antiundead]

He uses a Spacemouse by 3Dconnexion. It is a hardware gimble control that lets you rotate objects and the camera. If you just want the cool smooth motion, get the Spacemouse Compact/Wireless. You do not need the super expensive Pro or Enterprise versions, the compact version has two side buttons with macros.

[@shivampatel1683]

How you're moving the objects that smoothly ?

[@sergeantseven4240]

I have a more complex issue, I have exported a 3d PCB step file of the actual FPC board and I want to bend that instead of creating a new component. is this possible?

[@iranmihanemast7032]

Great work. why we needed the two cylinder block, can't we use other type of block which cuts the required curved surface in one command.

[@joshuavincent7884]

I think you could use any shape, it's just there to constrain the path of the flex

[@Fusion360School]

I think what you are trying to say is to use the extrude command on the 2 circles. Yes, that would definitely be easier in this very simple example. I was trying illustrate how you can use the obstacle to cut into the flex. In cases where the obstacle is an irregular shape, the combine tool would be more useful.

@@Fusion360School Thank you for reply.
