How to 3D Model a Cookie Cutter in Fusion 360 (for 3D Printing) // By the end of this video, you’ll know how to 3D model a cookie cutter in Fusion 360.
With most designs, you’ll want to start off with a reference image. I’ve gone ahead and attached a heart silhouette in the video description. To insert the reference image I’ll select the “attached canvas” option in the toolbar. Then, I’ll select the XY origin plane for the face and I’ll select the image from my local machine.

I know I'm kinda randomly asking but do anybody know of a good website to watch new movies online ?
@Yosef Aldo lately I have been using FlixZone. You can find it on google =)
I have not even ever used Fusion, or any graphic design program. But that didn't stop me from buying a 3D Printer to make cookie cutters, lol.
Congrats, Sandra! That's very exciting. What printer did you get? Cheers, Kevin :)
Same here!
This saved me, grandson thought a cookie cutter of our Labrador would be cool.
I smiled and nodded myself into a few hours of trying to trace with lines, followed by splines (They hate me) then I found this post.
So far I have the cutter with collar and ear in about 70 minutes, I will print then wait for next weekend for him to test it.
Thank you so much!!!
Glad to hear that, Kevin! Please share some pics of the final cookie cutter in the PDO Community - community.productdesignonline.com/
I'd love to see them :)
I use Fusion exclusively for making my own cookie cutters, fondant cutters, impression stamps and tools for baking, and using in making cookies. I already know how to make cookie cutters and I am trying to work to work on putting my logo on the side of the cutter, along with the name of the cutter. I know how to label them, but for some odd reason, I haven't been able to make my logo (my mark) for adding to the cutters as well. I like for my cutter to have a nice rounded handle on the bottom, and then a support wall, then the cutting edge. This gives the cutter better strength. Then, if I want to add words, I try to make an embosser to go inside of the cutter. I prefer having a cookie embosser to match the outside cutter, but most of my cutters are just the outside, and then I create cookie stamps for words and designs on them. I appreicate your courses on Fusion 360. It is one heck of a program, and I don't use hardly any of it's functionality. But it is my preferred program for making my own cutters.
That added tip at the end was ingenious!! Thanks again for your help, Kevin! My wife' cookie cutter is printing out now. She loves it!!
Hi, John. Glad you enjoyed that tip at the end. I try to always throw in some sort of tip or trick. I hope she bakes you some cookies this weekend to thank you for modeling it for her ;)
Cheers, Kevin
Great tutorial, loved the last bit about testing the shape without printing it first
Your video has really helped me to learn how to use Fusion 360 to create my cookie cutters. I hope you have more videos for more images for cookie cutters.
Glad to hear that, Amber! Be sure to check out this video - ua-cam.com/video/a3uNJoa_-io/v-deo.html
Thank you, I was making a cookie cutter of Lithuania and couldn't for the life of me figure out how to add the offset, your method worked beautifully!
Made my first creation off of this video. It's a leather stamp of a honey badger...and well you can guess the text around it. Thank you for your easy to view guide! Subscribed, and liked. Simply Awesome work, brother.
Thank you. Can you do a tutorial of a single complex 3-D cookie cutter that has two different cutting depths (e.g. one to cut the dough and one to imprint design lines for decorating)? It would be similar to "embossing" the cookie but you wouldn't need a separate cookie cutter.
That's...that's in the video
love you !
Excellent video!! Very clear and easy to understand, even for someone like me who has never used Fusion.
Thanks, Rachel! :)
Thought...probably won't use this, but I want to see what techniques I can learn. Then you ended up making a badass cookie cutter, and gave a great way to test it.
This shits great man.
Thank you very much for this clear video as always!
Great video! Thanks for the creating and sharing this.
Thanks, Frank! I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment. Cheers, Kevin :)
Keep up the great work man!! DO NOT STOP!! You have a fundamental terminology section?
Thanks, DC JUICE! I appreciate your support.
I have a "Fusion 360 Glossary" on my website which lists all the terminology...although there are certainly other basic CAD terms that could be added. Here it is - productdesignonline.com/tips-and-tricks/autodesk-fusion-360-glossary/
Is this what you're looking for? Curious to hear how it could be improved or how something else could help beginners learn the terminology? is a video on terminology worth it? Cheers, Kevin :)
@@ProductDesignOnline I will have a look and let you know. I'm the type of person that can just do the work, as weird as that sounds, but terminology and explanation of things is where I need to improve. I was a machinist for 6 years...lol So, thank you for this!!
@@complainergamer I understand what you mean...I'm the same way. I can pick up things very easy. Definitely let me know when you get the chance. I have been thinking about how I can create a PDF download that has useful beginner terminology and tips and tricks in it. Cheers, Kevin :)
Awesome video, thank you!
This is amazing, I am new to 3d printing and have been using cookiecad to start, but I really want to have better control of how I design things. My question is, how would I add an extra blade? Basically, another layer on the outside of the cookie cutter?
I can't even begin to tell you how much this helped me. I was struggling for days trying to make a bevelled (fillet) edge in tinkercad on shapes I created and OMG, ugh, I wanted to kill myself how badly it wasn't working out. But thanks to your video I was able to add a bevel to my handles for my cutters using my own measurements and cutting edge etc. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
Wish id found this sooner, the fun and games ive had...
This tutorial was so helpful thank you! I had a question, what if i wanted to make a cookie cutter & then a seperate cutter which was the same shape but didn't actually cut out the dough but instead just embossed it. So for example a love heart cookie cutter to cut out the cookie dough & then a seperate heart which has "be mine" to stamp the fondant creating an embossed style? Not sure if this makes sense but basically i am wanting to create cookies with details on them instead of just the outline of the shape.
Hi Paige. I cover that in my other cookie cutter lesson: ua-cam.com/video/a3uNJoa_-io/v-deo.html
If you would like more guidance, I also have a course on creating cookie cutters and embossers: academy.productdesignonline.com/courses/fusion-360-designing-custom-cookie-cutters
Love this video. Subscribed and will now watch your others. I am having an issue with the mirror command. I did what you are showing here but I cannot click on the spline. I'm still plugging away at it but hope you can offer some insight. If I figure it out, I'll post what I did to get it working. And thanks!!
Hi, John. Glad to hear you're enjoying this. There are two mirror commands, one for the sketch environment and one for the model environment. It's likely that you're using the wrong one, which is prohibiting you from being able to select the sketch (in this case, the spline).
Make sure you're in your sketch environment. If not, double-click on the sketch to re-activate it. Then, activate the shortcuts box with the keyboard letter "S". Type out "Mirror" and you'll see there are actually 4 different mirror commands (the other two are for sculpting). You'll need the SKETCH mirror command which is the first one, or the one that doesn't have a filled-in blue triangle, as seen (circled) here - snipboard.io/EA6Vt3.jpg
While in an active sketch environment you will see the sketch mirror command under the "Create" dropdown list, but note that you must be under the SKETCH tab of the toolbar. When under the SOLID tab, the "Create" dropdown list will have the solid modeling mirror command for 3D bodies, features, and components.
Let me know if that was it! Cheers, Kevin :)
@@ProductDesignOnline SUCCESS!! I figured it out. I didn't use the "Sketch" point tool. I used the "Create" point tool. Once I redid my points all fell into place!! Thanks again!
great tutorial, slowly telling step by step, but yet im still strunggling make one, feel want to cry.
What part are you struggling with? Join the PDO Community (free) and share your file/questions - bit.ly/PDOCommunity
Is there an easy way to resize to a specific size? I used the scale command (non uniform to only stretch X and Y) but this requires some math or guesswork to get the proper size. Say I made a 3 inch heart, but I also want a 4 inch and a 2.5 inch. The 4 inch is easy enough to do in my head (scale 1.33) but the 2.5 would require a calculator. Basically, I would like to add a dimension, but be able to change it for the whole design. I tried dimensioning across the heart but it distorts...
I make polymerclay jewllery and recently got a printer to start printing clat cutters. This has helped me massively with fusion360 thank you so much! Is your skillshare course suitable for making clay cutters - im super keen on designing a cutter with sharpe clean cuts :)
You saved me after 2 hours of a struggle where cura kept wanting to fill the empty part at the center.
Hi, CowGames. Glad to hear that. Don't hesitate to comment or reach out if you run into any roadblocks with your projects. Cheers, Kevin :)
@@ProductDesignOnline Well I kind of did run into an issue the other day. I got an OBJ file from thingiverse, but when I want to print it has an error. On the preview screen I can see that parts of the wings on the dragon that I want to print are (i think) too thin and thus will not be printed, leaving them completely unattached to the model. How can I fix this? I tried meshmixer but that keeps crashing on me..
@@MrCow579 If you're able to convert the file to a solid or surface body (following these steps ua-cam.com/video/pgWWVcM5YJY/v-deo.html) then you could use the Surface tools to patch the holes or thicken the thin wings. The only concern I have is that if Meshmixer is crashing the mesh file may be too complex for Fusion 360. Is Meshmixer crashing when you simply open the file or when you try to alter the file? Cheers, Kevin :)
Excellent as always! One suggestion, if you would have added draft angles, it would probably do a better job of releasing the dough when pulling the cutter up...
Great suggestion, Wm Robert Leschyna! That would definitely be helpful :)
@@ProductDesignOnline I'd love to see a video doing a cookie cutter giving the edge a bevel for a sharper cutting edge
@@RhondaJFinds You could apply a draft angle as he suggested. However, I would actually recommend adding a chamfer over the draft angle, as that will give you more control over the angle and the depth. Here's a quick screencast I did so you can add a chamfer/bevel to your cookie cutters - drive.google.com/file/d/1H-fZ3vZkxpwojdnnLbU7OgmODMI42r9O/view?usp=sharing
Cheers, Kevin :)
@@ProductDesignOnline thanks for the screen grab! How does this go if you've got a .4mm print nozzle?
@@tp7283 You're welcome!
I printed the cookie cutter with a .4mm nozzle on an Ultimaker 2 and it worked great. Depending on your printer type, you may want to increase the infill and decrease your layer height to get a finer resolution. Cheers, Kevin :)
I am looking for the answer to "Empty Componnet, and From Bodies" versus "External, Internal" which is what F360 now shows when creating new component. Please advise what choice should be made. Internal (the default choice) has bitten me on a previous trial I was working with. Thank you, anyone, for your time in answering.
For models like cookie cutters, internal should always be chosen. External is used when creating more complex assembly (multipart) models.
Kevin great video , I'm so new at this I had a question I keep messing up when it's time to use the point. I select point then my plane but the plane box never disappears I must be missing something if you can help great. If not keep doing what your doing great job
Hmmm, hard to say without seeing a screenshot or screencast. If you're still having issues you can post more details in my free community space - bit.ly/PDOcommunity
I love the idea of the mirror function, does this work from if you have to use both the fit point spline and line sketch for a unique design?
When I tried to mirror it had all my lines as seperate pieces and I couldn’t select the entire ‘half’ of my image
Hi Hannah. If you have several sketch objects then you'll need to select all of them (or whichever ones you want to be mirrored). Just note that there is a SKETCH mirror command and a MODEL mirror command. Make sure you activate the correct mirror command while in the SKETCH tab in the toolbar... that may have been the issue!
Great tutorial! Question - how do I close the spline if they're not all closed? I used some arcs in mine and got everything to mirror but don't have the orange background.
Hi Karen. Are you seeing a blue background? The last update of Fusion 360 changed the color from orange to blue (for accessibility reasons). Thus, the blue background means it is a fully-closed profile. Cheers, Kevin :)
@@ProductDesignOnline Coincident Constraints are important as well, I have learned! And yes, blue.
Hi
I can not make offset from bottom side. I cannot see the blue area and select the outher side of the hearth. What is the main reason off this. Can you help me?
Hi Kevin,
I hope you're well.
I would like to taper the edge of my cookie cutter to make it sharper for cutting through dough.
Can you advise on how to do this?
Thanks
Hi, Derusha. Please see the video titled "Sharpening the Cookie Cutter" in my Skillshare cookie-cutter course. In that video, I demo using the "chamfer" tool to taper/sharpen the bottom edge of the cookie cutter. Cheers, Kevin :)
@@ProductDesignOnline
Thanks Kevin :)
What would be the cost price of making a cookie cutter like this by 3D printing? eg cost of materials/ amount of filament used.
Hi, great video, I can't insert and SVG file where have you downloaded??
Hi, electric gamer. You can save this heart SVG file (from Wikipedia) - upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/86/A_perfect_SVG_heart.svg
Click the link, right-click on the image and select "save as". Cheers, Kevin :)
What filament and nozzle do you recommend when printing food stuff like these ?
Hi, Kimberly. That's a great question. I recommend using PETG filament when possible. I've linked to my favorite in the description. Otherwise, PLA is the safer route over ABS and other alternatives.
For the nozzle size, I use a standard 0.4mm nozzle. I print them with a 0.15mm layer height unless there are really fine details (an embossser) you can use a 0.1mm. Cheers, Kevin :)
Hi,
At 9:18 when I hit O then click on the bottom surface I'm unable to click on the side of the heart to do the offset. Any ideas? Thanks
Hi, Lethalrosedose. Make sure you're sketching plane is on that top surface. I'd be happy to take a look if you can you share your file? Share your public link as a reply to this comment. Here's a video explaining how to share a public link - ua-cam.com/video/2XrcrdV-8Ls/v-deo.html
Cheers, Kevin :)
Couldn’t you also use a program like inkscape and do the auto bitmap trace to get an outline then put it in the fusion 360 as an svg.
You could...but SVGs are a slippery slope with Fusion 360. They recreate all the imported SVG lines as native sketch geometry. Sometimes that creates hundreds or thousands of little line segments. Consequently, there are certain modeling command that then become much harder to use - chamfer, fillet, sweep etc...anything where you have to select continuous edges.
Hello, since Fusion360 Free version is going to loose some features, would you also record a video of this tutorial with Blender? That'd be great to learn these on Blender. Thanks.
Everything in this tutorial will still be/is available even with the new restrictions.
This is a nightmare if you are using Windows an a new version alongside a not symmetrical form. Good tutorial.
I'm trying to scale my cookie cutter, but when scaling the original spline sketch it completely demorphs. How do properly scale my cookie cutter?
Hi, casinomann. Are you scaling the sketch with the sketch "scale" tool or are you scaling the model with the modeling scale tool? I would suggest scaling the sketch.
Or, if you're 3d printing the object/using it in a third party software scaling the object there. Unfortunately, scaling sketches with splines in Fusion 360 can be tricky...and it doesn't always work. It depends on the complexity of the spline...sometimes the sketch "Scale" tool does work. Cheers, Kevin :)
@@ProductDesignOnline Thanks for the answer!
Following this tutorial, scaling the sketch made it go completely bonkers. Some guy suggested making the sketch with control point splintes(?) instead, as then it was more easily scalable, but I've yet to do so.
Scaling it in a slicer would be more problematic, as I would much less accurately know it's size.
@@casinomann That's correct, the "Control Point Splines" can be dimensioned easier. However, that doesn't mean it will naturally scale easily with the sketch scale tool. The benefit is that you can update the dimensions to get the Control Point Spline to update accordingly, where the Fit Point Spline is very hard to dimension. Cheers, Kevin :)
Can anyone recommend on what settings to print this cutter?
Hi, Pop's Cakes. What 3D printer, slicer, and filament are you using?? Cheers, Kevin :)
Product Design Online I have a Wanhoa mini i3 duplicator and I use PLA Wanhoa fillemant. Thank you for replying
@@leeancaljw Thanks for the info! I use Ultimaker's Cura for my slicing software. The few cookie cutters I printed out I just used Cura's preset settings of "Normal" (.15mm) since its a fairly basic object with light use expected. The only setting I change is the infill. Based on the cookie-cutter design I typically bump up the infill to 60-80% so the inside components or side walls don't end up as fragile. It takes significantly longer (a few hours) but is probably worth it in terms of making the cookie-cutter last a lot longer. Image for reference - snipboard.io/tW4KQI.jpg
Cheers, Kevin :)
Do u know how to make the cutter wall from top 2mm to the bottom (cutting edge) 0.3mm?
Hi, Shan. It sounds like you're wanting to add a taper to the shape, so the bottom is more narrow? If so, you can use the "Chamfer" tool from the SOLID tab. It will be found under the modify dropdown list. Select the bottom edge and then set the taper by adjusting the chamfer distance in both directions.
I can't for the life of me figure out what I did wrong. When I attempt to offset I have a dotted red line surrounded my cutter, no a solid line. Help!
Hi Tiara. Can you provide a link to a screenshot? My first suggestion would be to make sure you have the "Construction" option unchecked in the Sketch Palette before you do the offset. Cheers, Kevin :)
@@ProductDesignOnline So i finally got through that somehow but now im suck bc i cant get it to let me offset the bottom to build the handle

Hi Rainbow Estates. The course is still available for $19 and can be found here - learn.productdesignonline.com/courses/fusion-360-designing-custom-cookie-cutters

I am trying sketching for the first time to make a cookie cutter. My problem is that my Fusion 360 is an updated version of yours and I cannot find the "point" option in the sketch palette. I can find the spline but not the point option that you used to place points around the image before choosing the spline option. Has it been removed?
Hi, Rachel. All of the sketch tools have been moved into the "SKETCH" tab, and then the "Create" dropdown list (while in the sketch tab). It's there that you'll find the point tool.
You have to be in an active sketch to see the Sketch tab.

@@ProductDesignOnline after i print it. I think my slicing settings are off? But was thinking maybe i need to start the extrude from the middle of the base. Would that make them more stable?
@@fylith6378 can you reply with a link to a screenshot? I didn't have any issues when I printed this specific design out. It could be something to tweak with the slicing software. It wouldn't hurt to bumb up the infill so the cookie cutter is stronger overall. Cheers, Kevin :)

Hi, Flyith. Sorry I did not see your reply earlier. Did you end up getting the letters to stay on any better? Looking at your file, the letters are quite thin with that text. It's probably going to be hard at that scale without having a commercial-grade 3d printer. You could try to add a "draft" or fillet to the bottom where the letters touch the face plate. Cheers, Kevin :)

Hi Kevin,
I can't get my sketch constrained. The lines are still blue. When I start to set my points, my cursor won't find the bottom or the apex of the heart.
Thanks,
Ron
Hi Ron, did you place the sketch points before creating the spline? If so, make sure your "snap" option is turned on in the Sketch Palette. Let me know if that wasn't it and we can troubleshoot further.
Hi Kevin, I turned on the Snap option in the sketch pallet, but sketch is still blue. I have another question though, when I click to select the text, the the whole profile that the text is on is selected. Can't figure that out
THanks
@@ronhutchinson3479 Hi Ron, for the text part, make sure you select one of the letters and they should all select with the Extrude command. The text can be picky sometimes - if you're selecting outside of it then it may select the entire sketch/background/or face that it's placed on.
In regards to the constraint issue. Are you trying to fully-constrain the spline? If so, they're not easily constrained and applying the "fixed" constraint to the spline points can help.
Hi Kevin, I figured it out. I wasn't placing the text on the face. I was placing text on just the canvas, ha. I could move the cookie cutter and the text remained on the canvas. I wasn't first selecting the face to put my text on. Also, I don't think I really need to constrain the spline, it turned out fine anyway. This is a great tutorial! I learned a lot.Thanks!
@@ronhutchinson3479 ah, that'll do it. Glad you got it figured out
Is there a way I can copy the cutter and just add text to it and print it incase someone asks me to make a custom one so I don't have to remodel it all?
Hi, Spencer. I would suggest copying the component first. Then, you can edit the sketch feature (that contains the text) in the timeline at any time. Right-click on the sketch feature > edit sketch > double click on the text > that will open up the text dialog where you can change the text.
Product Design Online Thank you! Is there a way to scale a whole cookie cutter or will I have to remake it the first time then just edit the text every time?
@@spencers2144 There are two ways to scale it. First, you could scale the sketch with the "Sketch Scale" feature in the Modify dropdown of the SKETCH tab. Second, would be to scale the body. There is a scaling feature in the modify dropdown of the SOLID tab for scaling 3D bodies. However, with that route, you may have to update or alter your offset thickness and height.
What machine did u use to cut them
Hi, Cutflower. These were 3D printed with PLA plastic on an FDM 3D Printer. More about the printers on my website - productdesignonline.com/products/

Is Fusion 360 free? If so where can I download it?
Hi Rachel. Fusion 360 offers a free personal use license. More info on how to sign up for it here on my website - productdesignonline.com/tips-and-tricks/how-to-download-and-install-the-fusion-360-personal-use-license/
If you're interested in making custom cookie cutters then I would also recommend checking out my course on Skillshare. It's up to date with Fusion 360's latest UI and shows some more tricks. You can access it for 2 months free via my link - skl.sh/32XsTCh

How do I add just a small tab on the cutter and text to tell what the cutter is? Attached phot is not my cutter. It’s an example of what I’m wanting to do. photos.app.goo.gl/TXgm14aek4DvWZNFA
Hi, Misty. Thanks for sharing the photo. This is a neat "upgrade" to the cutter.
You'll need to create a new sketch on the top surface. Based on the photo you provided, it appears that the shape follows the same curve. If you want the text area to follow the same shape then you can use the "offset" tool in the sketch dropdown list. Offset the edge to your desired distance, making sure there's enough room of an icon or text. Then, you'll have to use the line tool to connect the offset sketch at each end. Next, use the extrude tool to create thickness for this closed profile.
Once you've created that shape you'll be able to use the "text" tool under the sketch dropdown list to sketch on the surface of the shape. Then, you can simply extrude the text away by setting the Extrude operation to "cut".
I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any follow up questions. Cheers, Kevin :)
Ok I think I understand. Lol. Can you possibly make this another video demonstration?! That’s would be super awesome 😊
@@mistywilson9140 I just recorded a quick screencast (with no audio) of the process - drive.google.com/file/d/1ugXGWS5d5mqMR-wxmrXLEGpsPHRlCeiK/view?usp=sharing
Let me know if this is helpful. Cheers, Kevin :)
Here's the sample file if you want to play around with it - a360.co/32pHDK6
Hi Kevin, I also can't get my bottom selected to extrude the "handles". I am on the correct plane and I don't know how to send you my link to the public file. Thanks! a360.co/38ax9lA
Cookie cutters
Design cookie cutters
Your videos are very informative and helpful.
Can you do a video on designing a cookie embosser.
I am looking to do a cutter and embosser seperately and not as one unit.
You can visit www.etsy.com/shop/TheCutterCreator , to get an idea of the type of embosser i'm looking to design and print.
Hi, Dreusha. I'm glad you enjoyed this video. I have a new course on Skillshare, "Fusion 360 - Designing Custom Cookie Cutters". I can try to add a video to that course that covers the embosser.
You can get 2 months of free access to the course with my link - skl.sh/32XsTCh
Cheers, Kevin :)
Hi,
Iv actually already did that course that you have on Skillshare. It helped me greatly with my first cookie cutter, although I had no knowledge and experience with 3D printing and using Fusion 360.
I would appreciate if you would add a video for embossers to that course.
Thank you so much
@@derushakhan2428 Glad to hear you were able to utilize the skills from the course! I will definitely add an embosser video in the next week or so.
Would you be able to upload a picture of your final cookie cutter to the "Class Projects" tab on Skillshare? That would really help me out! :)
@@ProductDesignOnline Definitely, I will
@@derushakhan2428 Thanks - you rock! :)
