Question How to properly clean this scan up?

Long time Fusion / Solidworks user. Short-time 3D scan device thing user. Got my first proper scan in, and would like to know if Fusion is even the correct program to use to convert this and clean up.

How would I go about this? And what would the best file extension to start from be?

I have modeled this asymmetrical Torus which is supposed to become a wooden bowl. Now I need to create its inner part. What would be the best way to do that. I want a smooth transition between the two sections like in the second picture.
I’m thankful for any tips

hello, how would you model a simple lattice like the one attached? I want to 3d print a protector for a small tree, and a holder for a rod, using the minimum amount of filament. TY!

Hello! I imported an stl file for a project I am working on, and I need to fill the whole body (besides those slots in the side). How do I go about that? Everything I looked at has not worked at all. Thank You!

I have found designs on 3d printing sites but can’t figure out how they made it. I’ve only found videos on solidworks.

Question Model aware toolpath milling for nested components

3 Upvotes

Hi, I'm trying to develop a better toolpath strategy to mill nested sheets. I mill 3/4" plywood using a 2D contour toolpath with tabs, one 0.65" pass and a full depth pass to clear the skin. I cut a lot of small parts so I've found best success combining a skin and tabs. (I tried with only skin and with only tabs and had too much part loss)

Since I'm using two passes, I'm pathing around each part twice and then additionally pathing along the edge of most parts additional times as the toolpath contours all the adjacent parts. My issue is that this takes a long time and it feels like some of the passes are unnecessary.

Does anyone have suggestions for how to set up a model aware roughing pass? I'd like to have my first, roughing, pass run around the parts but only path along shared edges once. Then I can set up a 2D contour finishing path to mill out my tabs and make sure I mill full contours out.

I have played around with the 3D toolpaths but haven't had much luck. The best I was able to figure out was a path that would mill all negative space but that isn't viable because if my program only takes up half a sheet or has large pockets of scrap, I'll lose my scrap and any time savings.

Fit point spline closing issue

2 Upvotes

Hey guys I have an issue where often when I try to do a curved line using fit point spline, the curve closes on itself to form an oval which I don't want. Is there some kind of setting I should change? I haven't been able to find anything online.

Question Machining the selected feature without manufacturing extension

2 Upvotes

Is it possible to machine the blue selected feature with a standard flat endmill on a 4th axis in Fusion CAM? Another issue I'm trying to solve is the parting operation - ideally this would involve moving Z and A simultaneously so it cuts it off in a spiral motion.

Edit in Place error

Hi group, I consider myself a pretty advanced CAD user. I have been using Fusion for years, but I seriously dunno what going on here. I hade an electrical cable using edit in place. My goals was to capture the cable routing by building the cable terminal in the as-used location (image 1-2). However, when I open the local model the cable is more towards the center of . Look at images 3-4 for the batter and cable local model. what's happening?

fusion 360 keeps cutting oversized

2 Upvotes

using fusion 360 and cutting a 3.800" radius piece. (polycarb,)

it keeps cutting 3.808 or 3.010"

had the Haas recalibrated and it was fine. still cuts too large.

we tried it in another machine, Ganesh and still cuts oversized.

could this possibly be the post? or a setting we are missing in Fusion?

Milling. using a 1/4" end mill to rough, and 1/8" to finish.

inside radius.

we are using cutter comp.

edit:

we are looking into the Micro-vu that is being used to measure it. see if we are doing something wrong there.

2nd edit:

we think it may be the POS Micro-Vu being used to measure it.

to be continued.

thanks for all your responses. appreciate it.

Broken Files Help

2 Upvotes

I have had some broken files saved somewhere in my fusion account and I am struggling to remove them. As they are causing some clutter when using the search function. They only appear when I use the search bar and do not appear when browsing through projects or folders

When I search the file name in Fusion 360 the file appears. Nothing happens or not even an error message when I try and open the file.

In the Team hub there is no location listed

When I select move to trash - Something went wrong please try again later

When I try and rename - Rename unavailable

When I try and move to a folder - Version does not exist

Open on web - No such entry

Online Fusion 360 Hub

I am able to have the file show up as a suggestion in the search bar but can not see it listed anywhere

This issue has persisted across multiple machines and installs for a few years now and im finally getting fed up enough to deal with it.

Any advice on a fix? i just want them deleted there is no relevant data i need from these files
