Learn Fusion 360 in 30 Days - Day #12: 3D Model an Auger Bit

This tutorial guides users through creating a 3D model of an auger bit in Fusion 360. It covers creating a new component, using the pipe command, forming a Helix shape, sweeping a rectangle, and finalizing the model with a cone shape and appearance settings. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of naming components and bodies, using keyboard shortcuts, and understanding the different features and commands in Fusion 360.

What is the primary reason for creating a new component in Fusion 360?

• To separate different projects

• To increase the software speed

• To group all bodies and sketches within the component

• To automatically save the project

Which command is used to create the center rod of the auger bit?

• Extrude

• Pipe

• Loft

• Sweep

What is necessary before using the pipe command in Fusion 360?

• A path for the pipe to follow

• A solid body

• A hollow section

• A predefined component

What is the alternative method to create a Helix shape in Fusion 360?

• Using a Helix Sketch command

• Using a spline tool

• Using a coil and projecting a sketch

• Using a circle pattern

How many revolutions are set for the coil to spiral around the center pipe?

• Five

• Six

• Three

• Four

What is the purpose of creating a new plane off the path?

• To change the material appearance

• To sweep a rectangle shape around the Helix

• To create a new component

• To adjust the view angle

What type of operation is set when creating the cone shape with a loft feature?

• Cut

• Intersect

• Join

• New Body

What is the purpose of adding a chamfer to the blade?

• To increase the length

• To smooth the edges

• To change the color

• To add a new component

Which keyboard shortcut is used to create a center circle?

• C

• P

• L

• E

What material appearance is applied to the auger bit at the end?

• Brushed copper

• Matte aluminum

• Glossy plastic

• Polished steel
