Flattening functions in Fusion could also be very helpful for 3D objects that are ment to be milled or laserc cutted from sheets later. Imagine a cube made from 6 sheets/plates somehow attached (as a simple example). Having a smart way to lay them down and orient them in an efficient way for further work in CAM-Software would be a good thing.
Another vote from me for flats and sheet functionality. It would be a big help to be able to visualise folded forms. Also, being able to deform a sheet against another solid (e.g. pressing a sheet solid against a cynlinder to 'wrap' the sheet around the cylinder and introduce curvature) would mimic the sorts of shapes you could get out of vacuum-forming.
I found myself wanting this feature at least 3 times in the last couple weeks. Vacuum forming and sheet metal forming are particularly interesting to me, but some of the other examples (shoes, tents, etc.) would be really valuable too. It would be a nice related feature to "unwrap" any surface to a 2D surface that could be used for laser or plasma cutting the source material.
Not only would I like to see sheet metal, but I can't use Fusion 360 until there is one. It is essential. I'd like to be able to define custom sheet metal thicknesses as well, of course. Thanks.
What would be the core set of the sheet metal tools you guys need to get your job done. As we all know sheetmetal is such a vast area so honing in on the core set is essential.
It seems F360 is fast heading in the direction of a industrialdesign/Manufacturing tool.
A feature that would be really useful in that sense would be a Develop surface/Flat pattern/ Unroll surface type tool. This would allow endless possibilities for product design and manufacturing purposes..
As our forum member swicksell points out we have heard this request before. Most likely this type of funtionality would come from partnering with a 3rd party that has this technogy. Thanks for taking the time to submit the suggestion.
Why partnering with a third party? Other Autodesk programs already have this capability. Would it be so hard to integrate something? Even just basic features like converting to a flat pattern. Doesn't need to be a big sheet metal work bench or anything like that.
I would also like to request a flat pattern feature. Exact flat provides a great solution for inventor if you need an example of what it does. I am working with softgoods and outdoor product design, and something like this would really put fusion on the map. Thanks!
My needs are fairly basic. I just need to be able to do flanges, tabs, and holes. Plus then the ability to unfold the part back to flat to generate the dxf for laser cutting.
There are already a few sheetmetal and convert to 2d suggestions already going on in here. You should find them and vote for them. I'd say it's better to have one idea with 20 votes than 20 different threads with one vote each.
