Learn Fusion 360 in 30 Days - Day #10: 3D Model a Phone Case

This tutorial guides users through creating a 3D model of a phone case using Fusion 360. It covers importing models, setting up design history, creating the phone case band, adding button cutouts, and finalizing the design with a back and camera cutout. Users will learn to use various tools like spline, offset, sweep, and extrude, and how to export the model for 3D printing.

What is the first step to ensure your document settings are correct in Fusion 360?

• Set the document settings to millimeters.

• Change the active units to inches.

• Start modeling without checking settings.

• Import a new phone model.

Which command is used to create a band around the phone's shape?

• Extrude

• Offset

• Sweep

• Fillet

What is the purpose of using the 'Extend' feature in the sketch?

• To add thickness to the model.

• To lengthen lines to close a profile.

• To create a new sketch plane.

• To import a new model.

How can you view or hide objects in Fusion 360?

• By selecting 'View' from the menu.

• By clicking the 'Hide' button.

• By using the 'H' shortcut.

• By using the 'V' shortcut.

What should you do if the extrude cut affects the wrong body?

• Delete the extrude feature.

• Select the correct body in the extrude dialog box.

• Use the 'Undo' command.

• Restart the design process.

Which tool is used to create a construction plane through two edges?

• Sweep

• Extrude

• Offset

What is the purpose of using the 'Mirror' sketch command?

• To duplicate a sketch on the same side.

• To scale a sketch.

• To create a symmetrical design on the opposite side.

• To rotate a sketch.

How can you add creative elements like logos to your phone case design?

• By using the 'Extrude' command.

• By inserting an SVG file.

• By using the 'Sweep' command.

• By changing the material settings.

What is the final step before exporting your design for 3D printing?

• Check the dimensions again.

• Save the file as a PDF.

• Add fillets to the edges.

• Change the color of the model.

Which file format is used to export the phone case for 3D printing?

• JPEG

• PDF

• STL

• DXF
