Once we go into the Flange tool we can create a lofted flange with the 2 closed sketch profiles, see below: -īecause this is a closed profile, we must create an additional sketch and feature in order to create a flat pattern of this Lofted Flange. Note that the 2 sketches are on 2 separate planes. The other option we have is to create a Lofted Flange with 2 closed sketches, see below:. Once this flat pattern is cut, it’s ready to get fabricated into the original 3D model shape. This creates the flat pattern of the 3D model ready to be cut on a cnc laser. These are used to create the original 3D model shape during the fabrication process. Note: - The lines shown on the picture above represent the bend lines of the flat pattern. Once we go into the Flange tool we can create a lofted flange with the 2 open sketch profiles, see below: -įrom here we can then create a flat pattern of this model, see below:.

Note: - The 2 sketches are on 2 separate planes.

This is a tool which you can use to open sketch profiles, see below:.

Inside the Flange Tool you now have the option to create a Lofted Flange. A new feature has been added to Fusion 360 Design Workspace for Sheet Metal.
