Fusion 360 Form Mastery - Part 46 | Designing a Racecar Brake Duct System with Forms and Surfaces

In this video we are going to carry on our Forms Mastery series with some more application based on a users question. We will cover some mesh section sketches and surfacing tools but the main focus will be on Forms based design.
A user sent me a scan of an MX5 race car with some questions around the best way to design a part to fit in a bumper opening to provide air to a brake duct system. If you want to follow along Dan has provided the dataset here.

We are going to go over the thought process, order of operations and some best practices when trying to design complex parts to fit in complex areas.

some people don't realize how valuable your videos are. the experience level you are sharing outmatches many design teams let alone taking your valuable time to make these videos available for everyone. In a competitive market we tend to keep our skills secret yet you are sharing best practice videos and helping everyone. Thanks for everything Mr. Matt. hundreds if not thousands of engineers worldwide owe you a lot.

I have been banging my head trying to design an intake under my headlight with solid and sketching, I never knew about the form function. I am new to F360 so this is some invaluable information for me to wrap my head around. I've watched it a few times now and slowly getting the hang of it at snail pace. Coming from tinkercad (I know this is looked own upon as an adult, but it helped me tremendously), using freeform for bodywork feels a lot more organic as it's common for me to get a million errors trying to sketch/extrude things in 2d sketches. Thankyou for taking your time with these videos!

Awesome, glad you were able to make some progress! Tinkercad is a good offering, especially for free, but it does have limitations and quirks. I really like it for the electronics stuff, but yeah modeling in it is really tough once you get familiar with Fusion or any CAD program with sketching/surfacing

I tried linking an image album of my progress using your advice in this video but I guess youtube didn't like it. So I made a tinyurl with my username instead hehe! Thanks again, looking forward to your other videos.

As someone that does carbon fiber and a decent amount of subs to my channel, I agree 100% to your opening statements between teaching and doing. I've been loving your modeling videos and definitely picked up some tips.

I've been following many of your videos lately and it's been really instructive. I learn new stuff everytime! The part I would like to have more details about is to get from those surface to a 3d-printable model. I've used "thicken" on some of my experimentation and often it leads to error messages. Since my goal is to 3d print my resulting parts, it would be very interesting if you could show us more tricks about this part of the process! Thanks a lot again for all you wonderful videos!

In this series I do print all the fender pieces. And while i have them all sitting on the car i haven't "finished" it yet. Life has just been too busy. But this video talks about thicken and the next one in the series i show breaking them up into smaller pieces to print. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Zr2mlMWgsr-zkZs.html

Hi Matt! Great presentation as usual!! did you align the mesh body to the WCS? or you just used the "insert mesh" command and left it in space? I usually use GOM inspect for geometric shapes - it's quite easy, but for these complex scans I am puzzled.. Quick Tip: You can make those tiny offset planes bigger by grabbing the vertices and pull them outwards.

@LearnEverythingAboutDesign Жыл бұрын

Thanks Luis! The mesh was sent to me aligned already so all I did was Insert Mesh. I don't know what scanner or software was used before opening the mesh though. On the tip. WOW. Was that added recently?? All these years and I didn't know that! Thank You!

Hello Matt, great tutorial as always. May I ask you is there any way to avoid having tangency handles at the last edges? I have been modeling 3d objects for 30 years using 3ds max , and surfaces don't have tangency handles, only curves have. For me it is annoying to manipulate handles when I use t-splines.

@LearnEverythingAboutDesign Жыл бұрын

Well before doing these videos I have never "needed" to mess with them. They are always there and problem only really arise when you use Match. What I have noticed is that if you manipulate them and then click on the chain link icon it will relax them(not always).

Thanks for another great video! I was trying to use the Fit curves to mesh section-function, but I can't find it in my dropdown. Can you think of a reason for that?

@LearnEverythingAboutDesign Жыл бұрын

Hey Dan. the Fit Curves to Mesh section thing in the sketch create will only be there if you first create a mesh section sketch from the Mesh tools. So first go to the Mesh tools and Create Mesh Section Sketch, Then you need to edit that sketch and the tool should be there. If its not let me know. I don't think that is excluded in the hobby version....
