so, i was wondering. I have a design for a part but its made with the solids tab, is ther any way that i can make the design into a sheet metal design from the current design without remaking it?
Justin! Thank you very much for the great introduction to Fusion 360 Sheetmetal. I am an automotive enthusiast and I'm build my 4th race car. I will be fabricating some parts for online machine shops to make. Your tutorial was quick, straightforward and will help me make the transition from FreeCAD.
Cool. I had a thought for 3d printing a template to mark your sheet metal. Like a 10 layer thick 4 walled skeleton just to mark the edges. And add a dotted line patterned groove for marking fold lines with the same sharpie! Thanks for the quick tutorial!
Hello there sir, hope you're doing well. I used to use this program all the time at work. Hope you are doing well and can bless us with more architectural detail types of videos. Your work is amazing, truly IMPRESSIVE knowledge of the program. How did you come to know so much about all this? I was only using it to make 3D floor plans for building automation systems to put thermostat and equipment locations on.
Hi Justin, Firstly thank you for such an easy to follow tutorial. This is exactly what i need to get started. I have 1 question though - one of the components i am designing has an overlapping interlocking corner joints when folded up and i cant quite work out how to include this feature. Is this something you can shed some light on please?
I want to make flange tabs coming off a round circle and I’m struggling to figure it out. Thanks to your awesome video I can make them on square objects with ease...but not round lol
Thanks for the video. Its inspired me to draw up my parts for a product I manufacture. Much of what I make for the product are studs and I hem the edges so my customers don't cut themselves to shreds. I tried to do a flange and 180 degree it but that does not work. If I override the bend rule to .001 in the best I can do is 175 degrees. How would you go about this? I have my thickness set for 26 gauge galvanized -.0217 btw.
Thanks for a great video. 🙌 Does the software allow you to assign a thickness value to the material? I'm designing HVAC equipment using PIR board which is 20mm thick? Thanks in advance 🙏
I'd really like to see how you create sheet metal in an assembly - I am having problems making a screen on a machine - create component in sheetmetal, press face in solid part, extrude to 1.25mm, pull one edge 2½mm and then when trying to add flange the system does not respond. Up to that point it looks like it is done right - How you design in assemblies - especially aligning holes seem to be totally dysfunctional
Good video, but you really left us hanging there at the end by not testing the update thingy 😂 A perfect answer to my question I Googled and got here: "Is sheet metal included in the free version of Fusion 360" - YES YES YES 👌 subbed of course 😁
Hi Justin. Your videos are awesome, thank you! I have a question for a project I have at hand, its a wood firing kiln for ceramics. I was wondering if theres a method for creating a module or a brick in this case (31/2" x 21/4" x 7 5/8") and then laying that over and over again - as if to imitate actual brick laying. Most commonly when it comes to brick-work its a straight wall and you would only add a surface texture in the end. But in the case of a kiln the bricks are laid out to create various structures. It would be useful to use a module block in order to construct such a model, I would think. Kiln builders usually take a squared notebook and draw out all the layers of bricks to figure out overlapping and final layout. I was wondering if I could do that in 3d? Thank You!
Hello friend, it would be good if you made a video of a metal box with all its corners rounded and then use the unfold function to see its development.
Wish I could figure out why your videos only play audio for this series.; I an view the Sketchup Essentials series and any other You tube channel without any problem except the one I want to. Im going to have to use my tablet.
At 6:18 you show bend locations. Is there a way to automatically include perforations (holes or slots) so that folds are more easily made along these lines without buying a bending brake?
amazing no need to say more , Super design soft .. i don't understand all and can't fellow which button you have clicke to obtain the shap the function...
how do you give the corners a raidus? I have a metal shelf with 3 flanges up and 1 bent down at 45 degrees, I can't seem to find the right way to change sharp corners to a round corner
Hi Greg I want to build a boat cab for an aluminium Stabicraft centre console basically a short front and dash Can I put this program on my Mac to do this and what are the requirements Cheer’s from Aus
would this be able to generate returns for channel letters? picture a letter "S" if it was a 6" tall letter and I needed a 3/4" flange to attach a base plate would it create the cutouts?
Would you be able to show how to flatten the sheet, then material to two 90 degree bends, because I want the sides to be at 80 degress but touching at the seam. Thanks Hope I explained this well.
THANKS for the video - BUT Whoa! What happened to your first example at 3:45 in the video? Why did that piece gray out? I'm a newby and this has happened to me several times, making my previous part inaccessible. What malkes that happen and how can it be avoided, please?
@AerialLensVideo, that happens when you activate a specific component. When you drag your mouse over a specific component in the browser you will notice that a round circle (a radio button) becomes visible. When you click on the radio button, that specific component becomes the active component, and all the other components are grayed out. To make all the components visible again, you have to active the the entire model (the top-most assembly in the browser).
Learned a lot on Fusion 360 from your videos. Thank you so much. I think the viewed number would be much better if you combine real wood/steel works in the video. Really like to you get more and more subscribers and viewers.
Like actual woodworking or metalworking? Unfortunately, that would kind of fundamentally change the nature of the channel, though I appreciate that you want me to get more traffic - don't worry about me - I have 4 RUclips channels - I get plenty of traffic :)
@@TheFusionEssentials Actually, I learn fusion 360 is for doing my wood work and want to have my own youtube channel. :) What are the other 3 youtube channels of you? Love to learn more from you.
Hi Chad, I'm brand new to F360 and had the same question. I worked around it by creating the body in the SOLID tab - sketch the shape, then extrude to your specific thickness. Swotch back to SHEET METAL tab - select "Convert to Sheet Metal" from the CREATE menu. Now you have sheet metal to play with. Cheers
I always used a piece of cardboard and a pair of scissors to make prototype patterns b4 transferring them to metal.... I keep a few cardboard boxes lying around for it... An ability to actually see the part in your head also helps a lot... I just look at the place the part will go and fill it in with the cardboard and holding everything together with masking tape... Design it in cardboard and then just trace around that pattern on the metal with a sharpie.... Often times I can design the part in under an hour without even having to do any math... I often found modeling it on the computer after taking a ton of measurements and then transferring the designed product to a print to be made is over complication....
You're obviously well adept at Fusion. But as I try to follow along with your tutorials, you wiggle the mouse pointer all over creation. You have to realize that your student is trying to follow your mouse clicks. When you roll the pointer around 5 times in a circle before you actually go to what you want to click, it can really be a huge distraction. Other than that, thanks for the knowledge sharing.
Hi everyone! Let me know if you have any questions about the sheet metal tools in the comments below! :)

sometimes you need a video like this just to get you out of the blocks... this is that video, thanks for sharing
Excellent refresher when you get away from using it everyday. I need to make written notes on this.
Lol - I have a similar issue - always have to do a little review when I come back to something like this :)
Thank you so much!
Please make a video explaining how to make a watertight box with no gaps at corners
Justin, another wonderful video for a beginner. Thank a lot. Keep it up dear. You are doing a wonderful job.
Way better then video and explanation the Product Designs Online. Thankyou much more explained out here for us beginners.

Good overview, just what I needed to get started. 👍🏼
Great Vid!! Perfect Quick Start tips into the sheet metal enviroment.
Greetings from Moscow, Russia. Thank you so much for the video! Everything is clear and simple.
At last! I found an up-to-date video that actually describes how this awful interface works! Thank you so much for doing Autodesk's job better
.
This was exactly what I was looking for. Great quick video that has me up and going already. Thanks!
Dude! Love this video, I've been trying to learn Fusion for work and could never get into Autodesk's videos. Liked and subscribed
I am new to Fusion 360 and that was helpful, Thank you sir :)

Good work!!! We also have rich experience in sheet metal fab, we are a strong manufacturer in China, with high quality and competitive price.
Great video, what about flat layout of sheet metal round tube fittings i.e., mitered 90, 45, 22.5 deg Elbows, Tees and Saddles?
I want to make flange tabs coming off a round circle and I’m struggling to figure it out. Thanks to your awesome video I can make them on square objects with ease...but not round lol
its not sheet bending to be fair. Pushing maybe but its mostly something else. At this point, make a cylinder and a conic hole
best ultra basic bending tutorial. THX

Thanks for a great video. 🙌 Does the software allow you to assign a thickness value to the material? I'm designing HVAC equipment using PIR board which is 20mm thick? Thanks in advance 🙏
Where'd you go? Your videos were awesome!
How do I unlink components that were copied using the rectangular pattern tool so I can individually edit them without affecting the others? Thanks.

How would you make the side flanges meet another flange at an angle? Kind of like if you were making a wheelbarrow?
ive been staring at my screen lost for a week now... currently I have my first piece for a bumper! woohoo
At 6:18 you show bend locations. Is there a way to automatically include perforations (holes or slots) so that folds are more easily made along these lines without buying a bending brake?
amazing no need to say more , Super design soft .. i don't understand all and can't fellow which button you have clicke to obtain the shap the function...
hello thank you very much video, Can we make these things with sketchUp .I mean metal sheet works?
Great Video!! Please put more videos on surface modeling .....
Nice video! but how did you get the diagonal flange? (jump to other object 5:43) i just could make straight flanges
how do you give the corners a raidus? I have a metal shelf with 3 flanges up and 1 bent down at 45 degrees, I can't seem to find the right way to change sharp corners to a round corner
hi justin. thanks for the video. i need to work with circular object. how do i designs it in sheet metal? thanks
I’m just getting started with Fusion 360! How can I do this but with plastic material?
Hi Greg I want to build a boat cab for an aluminium Stabicraft centre console basically a short front and dash
Can I put this program on my Mac to do this and what are the requirements
Cheer’s from Aus
Thanks for this. Faster than blender for this purpose.
I'm looking for how to insert a bead in the sheet.
would this be able to generate returns for channel letters? picture a letter "S" if it was a 6" tall letter and I needed a 3/4" flange to attach a base plate would it create the cutouts?
How do I export each bend's radius in degrees for when i have to bend this material after it has been cut by a laser?
Great series. Thanks.
Could you also create flat cut sheet for say a 1930’s car fender?
Would you be able to show how to flatten the sheet, then material to two 90 degree bends, because I want the sides to be at 80 degress but touching at the seam. Thanks
Hope I explained this well.
Well, nevermind. I got it. I was able to figure it out right after I asked this.
Great video, thanks for this dude!!
It would have been nice if you showed how to adjust the thickness of the material
Keep up yhe good work sir...you are awesome⚡⚡
THIS HELPED SOOO MUCH.
can you add a crush fold ? I've been trying but cant see anyway to do it.

@@AerialLensVideo Glad I could help. I'm still doing a lot of learning too.
how did you leave the ghost image of your first sketch ?
Hi Greg can you use flange tool on a circle ?
But how did you make those mitered corners?
How do I set my sheet metal thickness?
What if we need to a certain thickness rather than it doing it for us?
can we create set of gear by scratch without python /C++ framework

Where can you add the material thickness?
if you bend it enough will it eventually break
What about a drawing? Something you print out and take to the bench.
How do you add those 45 degree angles
Thank you Justin!
amazing video!
Good stuff. Thank you.
Is the McMaster Carr catalog available in fusion hobbyist?
Yes, as a free plugin in the Autodesk app store.
It's a window for directly importing part models, for those wondering.
good video
How do I merge the corners to create an enclosed box?
