How to add text to a surface in fusion 360

In this video I will show you a simple way to add text to surfaces or objects in fusion 360. This is a really easy process and if can be added to rounded surfaces or flat surfaces!

[@jessaminutesir]

Thank you so much! I am BRAND NEW to design and this was the most straightforward video I've found yet. I've watched it a few times to make sure I'm doing it right and its so helpful! Thank you!!!!!!

[@Platttraining]

Perfect video for what I needed. Thanks for sharing and being so helpful.

[@rep001]

Great help, to the point just what I needed. Thanks!

[@lifewarrior1.618]

Wow, this is the best way indeed. Many videos ive seen take ages to get to this result. Thanks

[@manpreetsingh46]

thanks for a no nonsense video and being straight to point.

[@Addepat]

Fully agree with you!

[@sawalvin2694]

yeah, it's true

[@Crysalis02010]

Seriously! This bro gets it done.

[@SyniztahStyleZ]

Short and sweet. Cheers!

[@FunOfTheSun1587]

Thank you from Siberia for this helpful video!

[@zakey9662]

Thank you. Ive seen other using photoshop text and transfer to fusion360. But your method much much better.

[@kawish-urdu6378]

Thank you. Very helpful

[@tristanbormann8565]

Very Helpful 👍

[@makedaevilmage]

Wow this is a lot easier than I thought. I just wanted to print a TPU bracelet with my name (as a test mostly). Thanks!

[@sparkzynr5543]

Great video sir!

[@tomwalters3772]

Thanks! I probably owe you a beer now :-)

[@MallocArray]

Perfect. This came up first in my search results and was exactly what I needed to add text to a coin

[@97JoMiller]

how do I make it wrap around the cup? Like I want the text to be longer than it is wide so it needs to wrap around.

[@MegaButze]

Thanks

[@sanguy123]

Most useful...Congratz!...One doubt, How will create a taper effect after creating this?

[@Rhine23singh]

Maaa Man thank you.

[@oysteinmb1]

Great!

[@vangriekenc]

Very good tutorial. Is there a way to undo/delete the text?

[@nabrup3]

How would you get the extrusion of the letters to be 90° to the circular surface?

[@sawalvin2694]

thanks bro

[@henrypearce5478]

When I make a text box, the corner that I drag it out from becomes completely locked in place, and I cannot move the box, only pivot around that first point. I think it could be to do with constraint, but I cant delete it, do you have any idea what the problem could be?

[@Ricobass0]

Isn't the text distorted by the curvature? If the extrusion happens at rt angles to the plane you sketched on, then it must be and the text edges will not be at rt angles to the curved surface.

[@drdax]

It’s extruded correctly bc he extruded it from the object. So it extruded only 1 mm evenly

[@ricobass0253]

@@drdax If you say so, but that's not how it looks in the video.

[@hdjoe22]

I know this is a 3 year old video but I downloaded the free 360 program recently and I've created some parts in it. I do not have a text option in the Create menu... Is that something on the paid version only?

[@r0adk1ll88]

Thanks. I have seen so many people saying this couldn't be done elsewhere!

[@jacoballen7601]

I don’t have a from object option explanation?

[@sabrinaflipse7732]

ughhhh i cant get it to work on a round surface. it won't wraparound, it will only stay flat :( even when i put the from surface option. :( halp?

[@bobobobo3142]

same

[@vastolorde3431]

How did he get the bottom of the cup like that

[@makingcookingfixing]

I am not seeing text in the menu

[@okrutnygrubas]

Thank you 🎉

[@mohammedal7645]

شكرا

[@sSebSLPlays]

for whatever reason, mine wont do this and I have 0 idea why

[@msolano00]

The problem with this is that you are losing the shape of the characters because you are using extrude. You should use emboss for non-planar shapes.

[@HighExplosiveOP]

How do I get rid of the red dotted lines around the text box

[@HighExplosiveOP]

Nvm construction geometries was on

[@papachili7290]

A better way to do this, would be to emboss/deboss the text, it's a bit more straightforward

[@devinablow]

Fusion won't let me select my object :///
I hate this program it's so needlessly complicated
Thanks for the tutorial

[@eggsandwhichian]

its not working for me and im doing it on a flat surface too...

[@eggsandwhichian]

if your text still wont work. ive been doing some googling and its apparently a bug that hasn't been fixed, and its most likely the font you chose. so try a new one until it works, fixed it for me.

[@iR0X]

@@eggsandwhichian ill thank you so much, without you i would have searched an eternity.

[@noxfinallyplays4224]

I'm so lost man. The text is MASSIVE and I don't see how to make it smaller, only make it less height.

[@molitovv]

this doesn't wrap the text though

[@freshfishin2042]

It does if you listen to what he says

[@molitovv]

@@freshfishin2042 I don’t think so

[@freshfishin2042]

@@molitovv it says on the text menu stick to odject

[@molitovv]

@@freshfishin2042 What part of the video?
