Repetitive extrusions for audio-diffusor: is it possible to use a CSV to automate it?

tormy.vancool — Sat, 02 Nov 2024 20:39:34 GMT

Fusion 360 free version.

My project is to make an audio diffusor

So, I know the size of the whole frame.

The frame is divided in a grid-block 3x3cm

Each block should be extruded separately because it has a different height than the adjacent ones.
Here below an example, where I extruded the first 3 block-lines (one-by-one).

Now my question is: by using parametric method, is it possible to import a CSV that contains the extrusion of each block and automate this process and expedite it?

Here the values I would turn into a CSV.

There is no out-of-the-box tool available for this through Fusion menus.

If you are familiar with Python programming, this can possibly be done through Fusions Python AP

Uhm no. I'm not familiar with Python programming

@tormy.vancool

I wrote a Python script that automatically reads the CSV file and generates the corresponding design (less than a minute on my machine). Let me know if you're still interested.
