Shifting Cylinder modeling

nmd2407 — Fri, 29 Jun 2018 06:57:21 GMT

Hello, everyone, I would like to ask if there is a way to model a path on a cylinder? I'm new to 3d modeling and using Fusion and during my search, I found this post:

and in sort, I got an idea on how things are working but I'm trying to model something like the attached pic!

thank you in advance

Some good info is captured in in this thread And some more in this thread.

If this is just modeling exercise then Fusion might work. If precise motion profiles are to be adhered to it is not suitable for the task

Probably I will need the precision part for this because I'm going to 3d print the part after I design the part but thank you very much for your trouble
