Sound Foam and Wire Mesh in Fusion 360 - Sine Wave Pattern

So this video is about something mostly useless like making a Sine Wave Pattern in Fusion 360.
But if things can be done they need to be done.
Follow along in this "tutorial" and be blown away by my very narrow knowledge 😀

Man your tutorial is awesome! for me it's the perfect balance between speed and clarity! For sure I'm gonna try it and encounter hardships that didn't occur in the video (as always :) but I'm sure a lot will be useful! I've been looking for tutos on this type of shapes so I can try to carve them in wood with a CNC router. Now I have to find a tuto to set the CAM for this one :D just suscribed, cheers man!

[@KristianLaholm]

Thank for your feedback. I'm trying my best to find the balance :) I started with Fusion with the desire to get a "hobby" CNC but things got in the way.

@@KristianLaholm So i manufactured several models of your foam form in wood (MDF and plywood) and it looks great! thanks again! If you're curious about the result I can send you pictures

Awesome tutorial! Just thinking about, how could i use this as a planter texture outside if I have the shape already?

[@KristianLaholm]

Sheet metal in Fusion can bend things but it doesn't always work with complicated surfaces. Fusion is not the best tool for this type of design.

[@noweare1]

I was wondering how one would build a spiroll sketch if the coil was not a built-in entity.

[@KristianLaholm]

My preferred method for helix spirals is using surface sweep (along a straight path, line) with twist angle.

[@jeremypaguet217]

Thank you very much for your video! It's great and really helpful! I was wondering how could we do to make them on a different surface, as they are both on a flat one? Curved or angular, for example.

[@KristianLaholm]

You can use the Sheet Metal Bend-trick to bend the pattern but Fusion will slow down to a crawl, this is so hard on parametric software. This is easier in other software, or you could turn of the timeline to make it easier on Fusion but I know no good tutorials ont the top of my head.

[@radumartin8533]

How can you wrap the surface that you crated around a cylinder? i want to create the acoustic foam in a cylinder shape . thanks

[@KristianLaholm]

Hi I hope you have found a solution but if not, you can use the "sheet metal trick" unfolding a flange and connect the "foam" to that and the refold. This takes some preparation and planing to make it fit nicely around the cylinder and it's a bit hard on Fusion but works.

[@RasTaIARI]

I find its really a pitty, that one has to do a hack like projecting the coil to get a wave in a sketch in fusion

[@KristianLaholm]

There are some add-ins that can plot math curves but I wanted to use only "built-in" functions. We'll have to see if the Fusion team will add it in the future.

[@RasTaIARI]

​@@KristianLaholm Yes, it would be awesome, if there were built-in functions for that. I also looked into add-ins .... i even thought about writign something myself, but it seems that with these addins it isn't really possible to make a truly parametric custom element in the timeline... so that's rather disappointing What's the point in a script that throws some splines on a sketch, if i cannot parametrically edit thinks like direction, amplitude, wavelength... ^^

Thank you for this tutorial as I needed it for my project, but I have to say that it was very frustrating to follow along because you explain it as if we know everything you're doing. Please slow down and explain in detail next time. :)

[@KristianLaholm]

Hi, nice to here that my video was useful. I hope my new video can make you less frustrated with me as I'm sharing some tips on how I speed up my workflow, and I'll try to explain more in future videos kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKSyfmh-p8hqhNE

[@JoaoPaulo-jn4gf]

Thank you for your tutorial it was splendid how you managed to explain that with caution to all details i have some question in mind that i don't know if is able to clarify only in the comments, there is some manners to like bend the iron mesh in the fusion?

[@KristianLaholm]

Hi and thank you. There are no "good" ways of bending a design like this in Fusion, Fusion will slow down to a halt with something like that. It's better done in a mesh-modeler like Blender.

[@Anax100]

how tf did you turn off the lines at 7:43???

[@KristianLaholm]

That is Visual Style, you find it using the little screen icon at the bottom of the workspace "Display Settings". Or use shortcut CTRL+4 CTRL+6 for shaded model with and without edges.

[@TheLinuxBust]

Wow! Superb! I can't believe I haven't thought about using the existing shapes as guides for projecting! Thank you for posting, really great stuff! Keep it up!

[@KristianLaholm]

Thank you :) I try to think outside the box and share my strange findings ;)

[@CMXCIX-AD]

is there a way to take this wire mesh and make a triangle like zig zag shape mesh out of it?

[@KristianLaholm]

You could make one of the mesh waves and circular pattern 3 on a full revolution. This should give you a base to work from.

great help
