Wrap Sketch on 5 faces of a Cube

Good Evening Guys,

 

I was hoping to get some guidance on over coming a road block which i'm facing with my design.

 

Road Block:

Don't know how to wrap my 2D sketch on the 5 surface of a cube, aka box.

 

Context:

I have create a box and want to add some art work on the box surface to make it look nice.

The art work is in an SVG file which i have imported on to 1 surface of the box.

Now i want to "bend" the SVG on the edge of the box, so that there is a continuation of the line from the top surface of the box to the side surface of the box.

 

Below is some images that might give some more information of what i'm trying to do.

I have seen a few you tube videos on how sketch can be projected on curved surface but tried to do it on 90deg surface but no luck....

 

I also tried the method explained by How to project (or mirror?) a sketch to another plane/axis? - Autodesk Community - Fusion 360 but wa...

 

hence have reached out from some guidance on how to wrap a 2d sketch on a box surface.

 

Please can you advice and guide me to solving this road block.

Please share your design (export as .f3d and attach to post).

You cannot really "bend" sketch, but this can be done the other way around.

Hi @TrippyLighting and team 

 

Looks like .f3d file cannot be uploaded to the post.... getting the error "The file type (.f3d) is not supported."

 

Below is the public link

The forum software is currently broken, so attachments can only be made to quick replies. But the link worked.

 

If I do what you indicated I get this geometry at the corners, which looks rather awkward:

While it might be easy to imagine how a flat 2D object is "wrapped" , once you move into 3D space things become a bit more complicated.

wow looks amazing, how did you do it......

 

so my plan was to "wrap" the 2D sketch around the cube and then use the "Trace" function in CAM t trace the lines using my CNC 

 

the other plan was to "wrap" the 2D sketch around the cube and then use the my laser to trace\etch the surface.

 

would be keen to learn how did you bend the 2D sketch that would be sufficient to do either the trace, or laser etch operation....

Attached is the model. Go through the timeline step by step and see how the model develops.

I am not sure this is the most efficient way to model this,  because it is very tedious.

ok on it.... will give it a try.... and report back.....

 

the end result im trying to get to some something like this where there is a continuation of the art from one side to the other

Hi @TrippyLighting 

 

you are right its not the most efficient way to get the model created, but its better than what i was able to do.....

 

so with no other option available at this stage, unless someone else knows of a way. I will proceed with your suggestion.

 

Thanks for your help.....
