PERFORM THE ANIMATION OF THE DEVELOPMENT AND COMPLETION OF A PACKAGING

[gla1972]

Hello everybody!

I am new to Fusion and I would be interested in designing a Packaging and obtaining at the end of a project, an Animation of its development, that is, showing how it is bending and "joining" until the final result is reached. All this with and without rendering and scenery ...

As an example, it would be something like a box of any product, a TV for example, which starts as a flat cardboard, then comes the die-cutting and finally, the final assembly ...

I hope you understand what I am looking to do.

Thanks in advance.

Greetings!

Initially, I would say to design the cardboard packaging as a sheet metal component to utilize the flange and flat pattern features if you are designing this for production. If you are doing this with the end goal of animating it and producing a movie clip showing the folding motions you will need to design the "box" as a sum of the component segments so that you can manipulate them individually in the animation environment.

Unfortunately, I don't believe Fusion is capable of animating the sheet metal fold/unfold functions yet so that is not the way to go depending on the intended outcome.

Yes, I too agree with @ritste20, currently this is not possible... And found a similar topic.. https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-360-design-validate/animating-bends-and-complex-geometry/td-p/... ...

hello @gla1972 

that would be an excellent question for the group of experts.

please register  you.

I add an approximate image of the packaging that should be animated, from an "unfold" to a "fold" state, that is, the whole process from when it is a flat cardboard, then it is die-cut, and finally it is folded and assembled ..

Obviously the picture is in the rough, being an approximation of the idea...

Thanks!
