Fusion 360 Sheet Metal Flat Pattern
How to make flat patterns for rolled sheet metal designs.
Fusion 360 sheet metal flat pattern. Sheet metal bodies with multiple radii curves or arcs in the sketch. Fusion 360 has released the sheet metal modeling environment. Re assignment of the sheet metal rules for the resulting component will not be possible. Create a small flat tab somewhere on your design that can be cut off during manufacturing and use that as the stationary face for the flat pattern.
Go to modify flat pattern. Notice that the representation is now a flat pattern. Only flat linear sections of sheet metal can be used as the stationary base face for a flat pattern. First create a flat pattern of your sheet metal part by going to the modify drop down menu and select create flat pattern.
An example of the procedure for a sat file is presented in the screencast below. With fusion 360 sheet metal features you can design for manufacturing right from the start creating a flat pattern for sheet metal design projects. While there is not currently a way to fully omit bend lines from a 2d drawing of a sheet metal flat pattern in fusion 360 there are a number of ways to work around this limitation. Let s show how to create sheet metal bends folds flange unfold flat pattern and more.
Select the stationary face. To do that create the sheet metal part from scratch in fusion 360.
