Elevate your design and manufacturing processes with Autodesk Fusion
FusionNews highlights the key things that happened over the past week in the Fusion 360 Community and key news from the industry. New posts every Friday.
Your Ideas from the Fusion IdeaStation:
Highlight selected part in timeline
Idea for when one when clicks a part in a model that the corresponding “form” would highlight in the timeline like it does in the browser.
New idea to create a Fusion 360 app for iPads and tablets
Request to have some type of naming correlation between the items in the history timeline and those in the browser.
Idea to add ACME threads to the thread options in the thread dialog box
Share your idea, product requests and vote for features that you want to see implemented on IdeaStation.
From The Fusion Team:
Fusion 360 In-depth: Web Command
Learn more about how the Fusion 360 web command allows for parts to maintain thin, uniform wall-thicknesses and increase rigidity.
The recent release of CAM for Fusion 360 now gives you the ability to machine complex parts with sculptures or organic shapes and surfaces.
Autodesk Screencast is now available
Capture and share what you know. Screencast is a new (FREE) service from Autodesk which provides you with a means to document and share your own product workflow knowledge. You can showcase your expertise, and in-turn, allow other users in the worldwide community to learn from you. Share your Screencasts with friends or send directly to your colleagues. Anyone anywhere can record an amazing video at any time.
Register for our Live Classroom event next week
“Fusion 360 Live Classroom: The Basics” – June 10th @1pm PDT: We will walk you through a complete modeling task including creating 2D sketches, outlining the initial shape using sculpting & surfacing modeling strategies, then integrate solid modeling tasks & visualization techniques into the final model.
Take part in Oregon Manifest’s Trophy Design Contest
Use Fusion 360 to design the trophy that we’ll 3D print & present to the winning design firm, the bike builder and the winning trophy designer. Have some fun using Fusion, win a 3D printed trophy, and get some rather public recognition for your winning design! Post your design to the Fusion 360 Gallery by July 2nd.
