Advanced 3D Printing With Fusion 360: Design Your Phone Case

Learn to create a simple phone-case shell in Fusion 360 by thickening the outer shell, hollowing the phone, adding tolerances, and exploring screw and sliding-clip joining methods.

design a hinge phone case in Fusion 360 by defining parametric dimensions and tolerance. split the case, create the hinge, and assemble with joints to test motion.

Upgrade the hinge case by adding arms and knobs, mirroring features, and drilling holes for buttons, camera, charging, and speakers; apply 0.2 mm tolerance and test with a 3D printer.

Design and test a two-piece attachment clip for a back-of-phone case in Fusion 360, refining offsets, arm dimensions, and tolerances for a secure 3D-printed fit.

Design a back-of-phone grip in Fusion 360 using the create form tool, importing sketches as references, calibrating size, applying symmetry, subdividing faces, and refining curvature for 3D printing.

Finish the grip attachment for the phone case by lofting a smooth transition between clip and grip profiles with rails, then 3D print to test fit.

Design a tripod attachment for a phone case by creating three legs and a central body, using revolved, extruded, swept and lofted features in Fusion 360.

Refine and upgrade the phone case tripod by adding a leg stop and 45-degree base, test with a 3D printed prototype, and model joints and lofts in Fusion 360.

Render the phone case project in Fusion 360 by adjusting lighting and background, applying aluminum materials, and blue case with red attachments, then perform a 16 by 9 final render.

Learn to adapt phone case attachments for horizontal orientation, split and rejoin parts, and sweep transitional shapes, leveraging hinges, sliders, and screw holes in Fusion 360 for 3D printed designs.
