Learn Fusion 360 in 30 Days - Day #9: 3D Model a Lightbulb

This tutorial guides you through the process of 3D modeling an LED light bulb. It covers setting up document units, creating a cylinder for the bulb's stem, and using the Sphere tool for the bulb's top. The tutorial also demonstrates how to apply appearances, add fillets, and create threads for the bulb's base. Finally, it includes adding chamfers and fillets to refine the model, ensuring a smooth and realistic finish.

What is the first step in setting up the document for 3D modeling?

• Create a new layer

• Set the document to millimeters

• Set the document to inches

• Activate the Sphere tool

Which tool is used to create the top part of the bulb?

• Thread tool

• Fillet tool

• Sphere tool

• Chamfer tool

What material is applied to the top of the bulb in the modeling process?

• Glass

• White glossy plastic

• Wood

• Metal

Which command is used to add a taper between the bulb and the cylinder?

• Extrude

• Fillet

• Revolve

• Chamfer

What is the standard thread type for light bulbs in the US?

• Unified Thread

• British Standard

• Edison screw

• Metric M

What is the purpose of adding an offset to the thread?

• To change the diameter

• To add a chamfer

• To increase the length

• To create a new body

What appearance is applied to the threaded bottom of the bulb?

• Aluminum

• Wood

• Glass

• Plastic
