In this video we create a pattern for a laser cut gift box using @Autodesk Fusion 360 . After creating the design I show how to export it as either a dxf file or an svg file.
While designing in Fusion 360 I cover valuable tools including the circular pattern and the mirror tool.
Enjoy!

Thanks so much. I needed a exactly this workflow from Fusion 360 to Retina Engrave.

Glad it was helpful!

[@cschmitz]

Awesome! Thanks for making this vid. Lots of great tips and approaches!

[@DesktopMakes]

Thanks and you're welcome!

Another option could be to draw the glue flaf together with the first side and then do a circular pattern Just a thought, it would be a wee bit daster. Kind regards Hans

Hi,
Nice project!
>> You can [more easily] make boxes like this in F360 by using the 'sheet metal' tools.
It's very quick to create a box // multi-shape box and it does all the fold-lines, cutlines notches etc. for you.
I can highly recommend it!
>>Then using the manufacture part of F360 set up your laser-settings.
>> Next let F360 do it's magic and create the g-code
>> Last... cut on your laser...
Enjoy!

[@DesktopMakes]

Thanks! Yes, will try a similar project using the sheet metal tool.

Nice video. Lots of tips for Fusion 360! Mahalo for sharing. : )

[@DesktopMakes]

Thanks gms! Happy to share.

[@AlexParton]

Any chance you can do a laser cut tutorial for a simple wood box with joints? Start to finish with kerf,etc?

[@DesktopMakes]

Cool, I'll add that to the list.

Extra thanks for the Origin addon.

Great video Vlad. I don't have access to a laser cutter, but it's still interesting. I'm wondering why you didn't use the Sheet Metal workspace for the box?

[@DesktopMakes]

Thanks Spike. I plan to do more with Sheet Metal but found this design simple enough to just create a sketch and export it to the laser.

I prefer to do all my laser designs in Fusion, but I still have to take them to Inkscape to change the line colors to for different actions (power/speed, raster/vector). It’d be great if there was a way to change line colors in Fusion.

[@DesktopMakes]

I agree Mack the Maker! I would love the ability to go straight from Fusion 360 to laser. Hopefully in a future update.

Hi,
Can you show us how to use the Fusion360 Laser Cutting feature?
Thanks

[@DesktopMakes]

Yes, will do in a future video.
