Plastic Part design workspace and Mold design workspace
Hello,
Similar to Sheetmetal workspace, we can have a Plastic Part design workspace and another submodule for Mold design either in the Plastic workspace or as a separate workspace. This will be helpful to design and build a plastic component from idea to actual product in Fusion 360 itself. Although Moldflow will be used for Flow analysis, if it's not too much to ask, Flow analysis tool similar to Inventor can be integrated into Fusion 360 for complete development.
Whilst I have no experience with other packages which might have this bespoke feature I disagree that it needs to be included as a workspace within Fusion. What is so special about plastic design? When you consider the designers have included the draft functionality for mould release and if you need to design a plastic object which bends and so has a radius you just use sheet metal and change the K factor accordingly.
However, your point about (something) being helpful from the idea > design > build needs to be expanded in Fusion generally as I feel an iterative design method is hard to do in fusion (I'm battling with this at the moment) where by having manual Snaps, ability to flatten Sketches within a component, better intersecting line detection for example would make the world of difference.
Hey, I agree to some extent about the plastic workspace that there may not be a necessity about the dedicated workspace. But having a dedicated workspace can make life easier when we want to add bosses, lip, and other features faster. I don't see any problem when adding one more workspace can increase our productivity and focus (I may be wrong). Currently, my workflow includes importing a part into VERO Visi Software wherein I can do surface modeling, this helps me in correcting any defects/changes to the model in terms of surfaces rather than solids. Sculpt environment is nowhere(exaggerated probably) near to the features I use to work on it. Recently I imported a decade old model and corrected several surface defects which are difficult to correct via traditional modeling techniques.
This would be a HUGE help for me as a plastics designer.. In SolidWorks its real easy to add in pin bosses, lip/groove joints etc as pre-built components...
I would support the added plastic design features as stated above : bosses, lip, parting line etc. If added Plastic workspace facilitates this I am for it, otherwise believe adding plastic part design features in the modeling menu would work.
