Fusion 360 | Overmold Modeling

Different ways of creating overmolds. When it comes to creating overmolds, there are usually two main aspects. The surface usually blends with the main body. And a recess has to be created on the base plastic to accommodate the overmold.

Every video teaches me another new things, this time being the boundary fill command. Thank you!

Best tutorial series on youtube, very clear and well presented.

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. This man makes great content and asks for nothing in return. Give him some $love$ on his Patreon account.

Once again another great video ! Please let me know when you decide to give a course on surface modeling , as I would like to become a student ..

[@forzagram_virtual2494]

I learned lot of from you , You made me model crazy things in a like month 🥰 You talk straight forward and to the point

[@stefanguiton]

Excellent. I didnt know that there were several approaches to this. I was used to the surface offset approach.

[@stevesilva6478]

By far, the best tutorial presentations that I have come across. I am very happy that I found this site. I have contributed to his "coffee fund". Money well spent in appreciations for what I have learned.

[@Fusion360School]

Thanks, Steve, for the kind words and the coffee.

@@Fusion360School I have been trying to adopt the top down design method for everything that I do, but I am not at all clear on how components from one project can be used in another. What I have seen online is not very clear or helpful. I would be happy if you could apply your most excellent tutorial skills to that topic. Stay well.

[@Fusion360School]

@@stevesilva6478 I must confess that I have very limited experience in cross referencing components across projects. This is certainly a topic that gets asked frequently in the forums, especially when it comes to changes and how they propagate. Definitely will need to research more on this.

[@Tokolist]

Cool! So many technics and tips in the short video! It should be standard for all youtube videos!

[@karlfimm]

Great video. Far more ways of doing it than I would have thought.

[@drbishy_hao]

Good one...always impress me with your new ideas...thanks for sharing...

[@danballarin]

Thank you for a great video. I learned that I do not understand or use boundary fill enough!

Gerçek okul gibi.

[@Benutzername0000]

how are your bodys differently colored? did you just give them a different appearances for demonstration or is your "component color cycling" different from mine?

[@Fusion360School]

Hi, I manually applied appearances to the bodies. Component color cycling only works for components.

[@khusanakramkhodjaev5583]

What do you use for smooth rotation. Is it the external keyboard?

[@Fusion360School]

Hi, I use a 3Dconnexion space mouse.

[@eng.mohamednagaty977]

Since you are working with Solid and Fusion - which programs are better and why? . and What is the difference between them ?

[@Fusion360School]

Cost-wise, Fusion is hard to beat. I would say that in terms of solid modelling capability, Fusion can do 70-80% of what SW can do, and that is enough for most users. If cost is not a concern, I would choose SW. It is a lot more polished and has less "quirks". Also, when it comes to drawings, SW beats Fusion hands-down.

[@gold-junge91]

Quick question I learn in my school to constrain all sketches that it’s get the red lock Why you are not doing this ?

[@alexeyrybakov949]

it's important if you building useful parametric model (and last one in this tutorial done with full defined sketch). For quick one time demo it's don't matter.

[@Fusion360School]

Yes, you are right. You should fully constrain all your sketches in your designs. In my videos, I often do not do that just purely out of convenience. In the course of preparing models for videos, I have to do a lot of testing and would often go through dozens of sketches. Fully defining them is a huge time burden and does not add value to the point of the video. Sorry if I have misled you in any way on this.

[@JuanAdam12]

All the other “tutorials” on KZbin beat this into your head and chew through minutes on their videos by constraining every detail of the sketch, all the while not getting to the purported lesson of the video. This channel’s Presenter assumes you are not a total beginner, and therefore does not insult your intelligence-rare in today’s world. His lessons are a gift.
