Can Fusion Do A Variable Thicken / Extrude?

Anonymous

In the attached file I have modeled (to a point)  half the back of a violin. The thickness of the arch as shown is a uniform 4 mm overall. In the real world, violin backs are thicker in the middle, say 5 to 5.5 mm.  The ideal solution would be to have the thickness of the arch taper from 5.5 mm in the center to a uniform 4 mm depth all around the edges.

 

Is there a way to do this in Fusion? If not, is there a way to accomplish this after the arch is thickened?

 

Many Thanks!

Will check the file in the morning.

You have profiles for a solid Loft, or a Surface Loft?  Not a magic button, but can be done.

 

Add the thickness in the Loft profile/s and loft solid.

 

Might help...

And that doesn't work, (Solid Loft)

has to be a surface loft for the underside, then Boundary Fill the void.

Edit my Sketch changes if required.

Most excellent! Will study it further when I get in from mowing the lawn this afternoon. If I am lucky, we will end our streak of below average precipitation and it will rain hard all day tomorrow so that I won't be able to work outside. Oh, darn . . .

 

Attached is V22 of the same file, but not with your additional work. This one will show the lift or flare I'd like to do on each of the corners, although I just did one for the example. It's even easier to see on the main sketch. I am not sure how I got this to work since I spent too much time this morning rummaging through Fusion until I got something that was visually correct so that you could understand what I was trying to clarify. Verbs never do well describing 3D models. I will wait to see how to do it quick and fast.

You were so close to this one, but still not clear what it is you need, this is my best guess, 

Loft or patch, both requires the 4th line / spline, I used the straight line and the new spline as rails, and the ramps as profiles.

I did not spend time adjusting my spline to be parallel to the other edge of the solid body.

A little something you can look at in your spare(?!) time.
