Help! I need to create a curved body of a motorcycle windshield

Hello.
I'm quite new to Fusion 360, I used Inventor in school for about 6 month..still I'm not very good at drawing with CAD.
I wanted to 3d Print a support to tilt my windshild of the motorcycle but I'm not succeeding to draw 3 curves in 1 body.
I menaged to create the windshild itself using the Sweep comand, but the rest is ( for me ) very difficult to create and understand.

Can I have some suggestion on how I can create a body with curvatures?

I'm sorry for my english.. I'm from italy

Hi,

 

I would strongly recommend that you do the embedded tutorials in the Fusion Documentation and also some of the

Self-Paced Learning to help you to learn fusion faster and better. They can be found here:

It is also much easier for the forum to help you if you attach your file AND a screenshot of what you want to achieve

and what the problem is. You can create a file to export like this:

Time spent on the tutorials and self paced learning will not be wasted. Also check out the three RULES that are pinned

to the forum for further guidance.

 

You need to learn to walk before you try to run. If you are not good at CAD then you need to practice and learn more.

The embedded tutorials in the documentation are excellent and the Self Paced Learning is well worth the effort. This

time spent on these activities is NEVER wasted.

 

Cheers

I would not recommend using printed parts for components that are relevant to safety.
Printed parts are not comparable to homogeneous materials in terms of strength. They also deform when exposed to sunlight, especially if they are under load.
What if the windshield comes loose while driving.

the primary surfaces (red and orange in the pic) are simple over built swept surfaces.  trim them at the interface and blend them together with a secondary surface.

 

other notes-

-start with surfaces commands, not solids

-just do half and mirror

Hi,

I see it like @wersy 
Despite all the interest in the realization in fusion, the safety aspect must not be disregarded.

The stability of 3D-printed materials cannot be compared with homogeneous materials.

Hi!
Thank you for responding so fast!

I know, infact the 3d print will be only the “prototype” not the actual piece. I was scared for it to warp too!! We are gonna use better materials at the end.

Ok!
I  did it by using the surface comands! Loved it.
I’m enjoying this program

Thank you for the patiance and for the help
