I am new in Fusion 360, I am mostly Solidworks designer many years ago, The good thing is I am a mentor at FRC robotics, I was introduced to Fusion 360, and all I found is absolutely the answers to all my questions about some repetitive tasks I was facing during my previous designs. I am happy to switch to Fusion 360 for life. thank you for sharing knowledge and experience
Love this tutorial and actually all of your tutorials. Brad you are doing a wonderful job teaching and I really appreciate what you are doing. What is so great about watching what you do is I have done some of the things you show the hard way but with the tricks you show us. I say to my wife who watches these videos with me. i was doing that the hard way and look at that trick and of course I get excited and have to go try what I have just learned in Fusion. Thanks Brad
I would to thank you for covering some woodworking aspect in Fusion360 for a change instead of metal millling that most of us woodworker feel Fusion360 is targeted towards. I would like to see more woodworking videos? Thank you.
Thanks for this, it really is helping me get used to Fusion 360 as am using a CNC Router (Stepcraft 2/600), would love to see more on Router work, also can you cover printing from Fusion 360 to an inkjet printer (not 3D printing) or has this been covered already ?.
Alan- You can print a drawing from Fusion 360 by just going to the print command in the file menu. If you are trying to print an image of your design (not a drawing), you can use the capture image command in the file menu
One thing you could do to make this super realistic is to model this exactly how you would make it; i.e., model one plank of maple and one plank of walnut, cut them into strips making sure to use the kerf width of your saw, and then move the strips into position. This will give you a very realistic representation of the grain pattern, and, since you're not having to adjust the texture map manually for each slice, it might even be faster. Is there any way you can Combine all of the bodies into one without breaking their appearances? If so, it would make the fillets and groove so much easier.
Brad, this is the first time watching you. Your explanation was spot on to the point I was learning while you were talking. I have modeled a model glider fuselage, however I am not sure where to start since all these tutorials don't go into depth on cam operations for something a little more complex. Can I send a model in to be added for a tutorial on how you would machine a block of foam to produce two halves of a mould?
This does play at 1080 for me, but I realize you might be referring to the "facetime" portions (as we call it in our A/V layman terms). I think Brad's cam only does 720, but we'll see about getting him an upgrade. Then again, after the lag issues we had this week, that makes me want to keep it simple. Torn.
Those dimensions in the beginning got confusing because you were using decimals. Like that first one, 22*.03125 . that's 22 32nds, so you could have just written 22/32 as the formula. Then for that offset spacing where you add 1/32, just type 23/32. Easier to follow and manipulate
Could you do a video on explaining the actual machine configuration in Fusion360? Example: My cnc is a 1318-4 model. 1450mm on the X and 1850mm on the Y with a 4th axis rotary parallel to the Y.
Rich Johnson i’m curious about this as well. i guess you could use the same tool with two additional passes or a different tool with the intended profile.
Maybe we're using different terminology, but this should really only be 1 "setup"...as in the model doesn't need to be flipped in relation to the CNC router. There would be more toolpaths for the fillet around the edge, but Brad was just introducing you to the CAM workspace by doing the #juicegroove.
@Rich- Ya, I was running out of time and didn't show doing the little fillets on the inside of the juice groove. Truth-be-told, when I made the cutting board, I just hand sanded the sharp edge... I will create a follow-up video showing how to cut the small fillets on the CNC machine.
I have a Stepcraft 840 CNC that runs UCCNC post processor and not mach3, is the UCCNC program in Fusion360? Below are the 4 different post processors that are used to create gcode for the Stepcraft CNC machine that are available in the Aspire software. The reason being is I would like to use Fusion360 instead of Aspire Stepcraft UCCNC ATC Arces (mm) (*.txt) Stepcraft UCCNC ATC Arces(mm)(*.txt) Stepcraft UCCNC Arces (mm) (*.txt) Stepcraft UCCNC Arces(mm)(*.txt) Thank you in advance!
Also if those post processors are not available in Fusion360 would you know what I'm able to use in order to run gcode on my StepCraft CNC from Fusion360?
Hey PJ, I'm gonna try to get some help for you over here, but I should probably point you to this: forums.autodesk.com/t5/hsm-post-processor-forum/bd-p/218 Someone over there is likely more versed...and quicker to reply than what I can do for you!
Did you make this? I didn't see the thing in your video. If you didn't actually make this for real then you didn't manufacture it as your title implies...So your title is wrong. You never left design and concept...you left us in some utopian world that everything will just work out...its a big step from where you ended to actually making it...if so...98% of your video is missing...at least show us a finished product in your hand that you're legit...Good video for beginners otherwise...

Happy to oblige! We didn't forget about our woodworker friends...sorry if it seemed that way.

You may wanna check out what Lars has to offer. We're definitely going to be adding more cam tutorials going forward. ua-cam.com/users/cadcamstuff
yeah man excellent great video indeed but why are your videos 720p in your youtube channel..:)
This does play at 1080 for me, but I realize you might be referring to the "facetime" portions (as we call it in our A/V layman terms). I think Brad's cam only does 720, but we'll see about getting him an upgrade. Then again, after the lag issues we had this week, that makes me want to keep it simple. Torn.
What about the cam for the fillets?!
We'll be introducing a CAM expert who we're ramping up for live streams. He may be ready to go as early as Thursday, but no promises.

Great feedback! Sorry for any confusion regarding those odd numbers...
@@adskFusion or when staying at your thinking just put 23 * 0.0315 as distance, also gives you that wave interference look
Could you do a video on explaining the actual machine configuration in Fusion360? Example: My cnc is a 1318-4 model. 1450mm on the X and 1850mm on the Y with a 4th axis rotary parallel to the Y.
Won't be able to assist well enough over here. Pose that question over here instead: forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-360-computer-aided/bd-p/2070
Don't you need set up to cut 3 times??? There is a fillet on each side that has not been cut

He mentioned in the intro that he gave the actual piece to his in-laws.
And if you expected him to go through the entire process of making it in a live stream, that's just unrealistic!
Manufacture implies to the CAM tab in Fusion360.
