Fusion 360 Essentials - Using Intermediate Features
by Kevin Koekkoek
In this course, you will create a model of a teapot in Fusion 360. This will be done using 2D Sketches, in combination with Loft, Sweep, Revolve, Extrude, and Pipe. Software required: Autodesk Fusion 360.
What you'll learn
In this course, Fusion 360 Essentials - Using Intermediate Features, you will create a model of a teapot with complex and organic features. The teapot was chosen because it is a recognizable object for designers, makers, and artists. The foundation of the design will be drawn into Fusion 360 with the help of 2D geometry. You will then get to transform this 2D geometry into 3D. You will get to use the following Fusion 360 functions: Loft, Sweep, Revolve, Extrude, and Pipe. When you're finished with this course, you will have used 2D curves to create 3D geometry that is fully constrained with great dimension accuracy. Software required: Autodesk Fusion 360.
About the author
Kevin Koekkoek is a maker and designer, born in Amsterdam who now lives in London. He studied as a fine wood worker, specializing in traditional furniture making. After his studies, Kevin got a job at an Architectural Model Making Company, where he worked for four years. Eventually, Kevin realized that he wanted his own clients, so he went freelance. Kevin's first clients were non profit art institutes, interior designers, set builders, Model Makers, and architects. The architects and Model Make... morer he worked for triggered his interest in 3D printing and 3D modeling, for non-architectural use. Kevin now helps artists and designers to transform their ideas into 3D CAD files that can then be 3D printed and incorporated into the artists' traditional workflow. Besides working for artists, Kevin also designs his own 3D products such as home decorations and jewelery. These pieces are a combination of digital manufacturing and hand crafting. Kevin also gives CAD and 3D printing workshops, and wrote the book '3D Printing Projects. 20 Designs for Your 3D Printer.'
