Tips and Tricks – Lofting Lately there have been a few questions on the forums about lofting. How do you set them up? In what order do you click? Etc. I’ve also had a number of you ask me 1 on 1 too. I decided to make this week’s tip and tricks video a bit more in depth and focus on creating lofts to build some relatable examples. Lofting is a CAD term used to describe the creation of 3D shapes by using profiles, guide lines and rails. They are very commonly used in organically shaped parts that need to be precisely machined. Common examples that use lofts include: orthopedic implants, castings, airfoils and plastic enclosures. Fusion 360 has always had good lofting tools but the attention paid to them in the past perhaps played second fiddle to our sculpting tools. This wasn’t so much because they weren’t capable, but more so because our sculpting tools were so widely loved and adopted. Lately there have been a few questions on the forums about lofting. How do you set them up? In what order do you click? Etc. This week’s tip and tricks video focuses on creating lofts by building a few relatable examples. In the video I show how to create a whiskey bottle, a ring, and a tent. Using the procedures shown in the video I hope you’ll be able to further your understanding of Fusion 360’s capabilities and add yet another tool into your tool chest to create your designs. ► Get Fusion 360 | autode.sk/1OH7K3B SUBSCRIBE | autode.sk/11vxXeD FACEBOOK | autode.sk/19jII5A TWITTER | autode.sk/19jIJXc
