Fusion 360 Sheet Metal for Beginners

This video tutorial demonstrates how to use Fusion 360's sheet metal tools to design a stainless steel glove box holder. It covers creating a new sheet metal component, sketching, and using the flange feature. The tutorial also explores advanced flange options and final design adjustments, including adding screw holes and refining edges. The process emphasizes the importance of using sheet metal rules and the flexibility of Fusion 360 in both flat and finished design modes.

What is the first step in setting up a sheet metal component in Fusion 360?

• Select the sheet metal rule

• Create a new component

• Open the demo file

• Define the K factor

Which feature is used to create the first sheet metal face?

• Extrude

• Revolve

• Sweep

• Flange

What does the flange feature automatically apply when creating a sheet metal face?

• Bend radius and thickness

• Color and texture

• Material type

• Component name

How can you adjust the height of a flange in Fusion 360?

• By using the height datum

• By altering the K factor

• By selecting a different component

• By changing the material

What is the purpose of the 'adjacent' bend position option?

• To override the sheet metal rule

• To create a symmetrical flange

• To ensure the bend radius starts at the edge

• To place the bend inside the box

Which feature allows you to unfold all bends in a sheet metal design?

• Unfold

• Create flat pattern

• Extrude

• Project

What is the benefit of using the unfold feature in sheet metal design?

• It adjusts the thickness of the metal

• It automatically creates screw holes

• It allows easier sketching on flanges

• It changes the material properties

How can you insert a keyhole slot pattern into your design?

• By using the extrude command

• By adjusting the flange height

• By inserting an SVG file

• By creating a new component

What should you do if the SVG geometry is locked with a fixed constraint?

• Delete the SVG

• Use the move command

• Select the unfixed constraint

• Change the material type

What is the final step in completing the sheet metal design?

• Confirming the sheet metal details

• Adjusting the K factor

• Changing the material type

• Creating a new component
