Fusion 360 offers several tools to prepare a model for manufacture.
00:14
After a feature has been identified that needs to be edited before being manufactured,
00:20
it is best practice to work in the Design workspace to modify the model.
00:24
For this video, open the file Turning Model Prep.f3d.
00:31
With the exercise file open, you can add or remove features from the model.
00:34
From the Browser, right-click the design name and from the shortcut menu, select Capture Design History.
00:43
The Timeline displays.
00:46
This tracks all changes made to the model.
00:50
Now, zoom and orbit the model.
00:54
The threads here have been modeled, therefore,
00:57
selecting them in the Manufacture workspace will be difficult.
01:01
Pick the faces of the threads and the vertical walls at either end of the threaded area,
01:06
and then, from your keyboard, press DELETE.
01:10
The program automatically heals the area into a solid cylinder.
01:15
Next, apply a cosmetic thread to the cylinder.
01:19
In the Toolbar, from the Solid tab, expand Create and select Thread.
01:28
The Thread dialog displays.
01:32
In the model, select the solid cylinder face.
01:37
Back in the dialog, review and edit the thread type, size,
01:42
and other data to ensure it matches the needed thread specifications.
01:48
Then, click OK.
01:51
Notice how the new cosmetic threads differ from the original threads.
01:56
These new threads will be easier to work with in the Manufacture workspace.
02:02
You can further prepare the model to make programming it easier, such as adding fillets or removing chamfers.
02:10
From the ribbon, expand Modify and select Fillet.
02:16
The Fillet dialog displays.
02:20
On the model, select an edge.
02:23
Then, in the list of fillets, next to 1 Edge, enter, “.025”.
02:30
Click OK.
02:32
Using the Design workspace prior to manufacturing the model
02:36
lets you easily edit and prepare the model to program it for CAM.
