All 3D Parametric modeling packages requires a
great deal of 2D sketching and sketch constraints.
In this Fusion 360 course, you will gain understanding
of 2D Sketching and mastery of Sketch Constraints.
Master 2D sketching in Fusion 360 by creating a slot sketch using rectangle and arc tools, applying tangent, equal, and concentric constraints, dimensions, and ensuring a closed sketch profile.
Explore Fusion 360's line tool with an arc to create a slot, apply dimensions and constraints, and extrude to shape and cut the model.
model the base triangle in fusion 360 by sketching center points, setting inches units, drawing circles with radii 2.25, applying constraints (concentric, equal, horizontal/vertical), dimensioning and extruding the profile.
Sketch half of a cylinder in Fusion 360 by creating a center rectangle on the origin, drawing lines, and applying constraints and dimensions to shape the Sheth connector.
Master 2D sketching in Fusion 360 by constructing a center rectangle on the origin in inch units, applying symmetry, dimensions, and constraints, and using arc, mirror, and construction lines.
Sketch the outer details in Fusion 360 using circles and arcs, apply equal and concentric constraints, dimension key points, mirror the sketch, then extrude the profile symmetrically.
Sketch the key slot in Fusion 360 by creating circles with center at the origin, adding construction lines and construction circles, and applying dimensions to define diameters.
Create a circular sketch pattern by constructing an arc and a slot inside a circle, applying co-incident constraints, dimensions, and a sixfold pattern, then extrude to finish the Geneva wheel.
Model a connecting clamp in Fusion 360 by building a constrained sketch with lines, circles, and arcs, adding dimensions, teeth, and then extruding symmetrically.
Connect arcs and constrain sketches in Fusion 360 by creating three-point arcs, enforcing equal and concentric constraints, applying tangent relationships, adding dimensions, and extruding to form a rocker arm.
All 3D Parametric modeling packages requires a great deal of 2D sketching and sketch constraints.
In this Fusion 360 course:
• You will gain understanding of 2D Sketching.
• Mastery of Sketch Constraints.
• Follow along with highly detailed light to moderate instruction.
• Course Exercise Files included in every lecture to assist you in starting out where you ended.
• Be able to level up to assembly and free-form modeling with high confidence that you have mastered the very fundamentals of part creation.
Why master 2D sketching?
In the context of CAD, all 3D parametric objects usually starts out as 2D sketches.
When creating technical drawings your 2D sketches ends up very similar to your final drawings.
2D sketches holds the very foundation of your 3D model and 2D drawings.
Why master sketch constraints?
Constraints are the tools that binds and reinforces your sketched geometry.
In a typical machine, constraints are like the nuts and bolts the holds the assembly together.
Without constraints all of our sketched geometries are loose and unstable.
By the end of this course, you will have a solid foundation on 2D sketching and mastery of sketch contraints in Fusion 360.
