Fingerprint Pattern coil

ilias86gr — Wed, 08 Aug 2018 20:51:02 GMT

Hello,

I m trying to design something like the attached photo but I find it very difficult. I tried using Inventor and making a 3d sketch and tried to design only one section of it. Then I was thinking to mirror it 2 times in order to have the complete model, but again it will need many hours to just make the first section. Do you maybe know a faster way?

Thanks in advance

This is relatively easy in Autodesk Inventor (wrap in Inventor) - I sure wouldn't want to do it in Fusion, but the process wouldn't be all that different.

Might even do it flat in Inventor and then Bend Part.

From your Inventor picture - it looks like you might have been doing too much work, but I am not too good at diagnosing mere pictures.

As I understand it this is pretty straight forward with Autodesk Inventor, but it is should also be doable in Fusion 360 with the sheet metal tools, but its definitely not straight forward.
