Bend a solid object

itszakkayyy — Thu, 26 Oct 2023 18:20:49 GMT

I have a somewhat complex solid body that I want to bend. I figured that projecting it onto the surface would be easiest but I'm not really sure how. Basically I just need to bend the whole object. Is there any way to do this?

I think another way of imagining it is to wrap the whole object around a cylinder. That is kind of what I want to achieve.

Take a look at this Blog Article and Video. Also please attach your model if you would like to have direct help from the Forum. If you do not know how to attach your Fusion 360 model follow these easy steps. Open the model in Fusion 360, select the File menu, then Export and save as a F3D or F3Z file to your hard drive. Then use the Attachments section, of a forum post, to attach it.
