🔹 What You'll Learn:
- How to handle organic forms in Fusion 360.
- Detailed walkthrough on slicing a sphere into laser-cuttable panels.
- Using the trim function effectively when the split body function won't work.
- Transitioning from the solid to the surface workspace.
- Creating and manipulating patches for laser cutting.
- Tips for ensuring the precise spacing of cuts for different material thicknesses.
🔹 Tutorial Overview:
This tutorial covers the end-to-end process of taking an organic shape, such as a sphere, and slicing it into panels that can be laser cut. Starting with creating a form, it moves on to drawing sketches for surfaces, constructing planes, creating patterns, and finally thickening the panels for cutting. Our expert guidance ensures you understand when and how to use the trim function over the split body feature, especially for shapes without flat faces.
🔹 Key Takeaways:
- Use the trim tool in complex scenarios.
- Learn to create crisp edges for lamination.
- Gain insight into proper panel spacing for various material types.
🔹 Materials Used:
- Fusion 360 Software
- 3mm Plywood for example lamination
🔹 Follow Along:
- Create a sphere and project onto a plane.
- Draw and manipulate sketches for cutting.
- Adjust panel spacing for the laser cutter.
- Trim and thicken designs symmetrically for real-world application.
🔹 Who This Video Is For:
Ideal for makers, educators, students, and professionals in design and engineering fields looking to enhance their digital fabrication skills.
