CAD and 3D Printing Activity Sheet

Things you will learn in this module:

● Learn how to create components, make sketches, do extrusion, cut and loft in Fusion360
● Create a twisted vase and an engineering part assembly using Fusion360
● Learn about STL files and learn how to create these using Fusion360
● How to use Cura to generate the G-code needed for doing the prints
● How to use FDM 3D printers to create prints from STL file

What you need to cover/answer in your practical notebook:

1. Explain the terms: components, sketch, extrusion, cut and loft
2. List the steps involved in making the twisted vase and the engineering part assembly
3. Give details of print settings used for the model you have created in Cura.
4. Explain what you have learnt with regards to 3D printing using fuse deposition modeling
3D printing?

Activity you will carry out:

A. Listen to the instructor about creating parts and assembly in Fusion360.
B. Use Fusion360 to create twisted vase and engineering part assembly.
C. Answer above listed questions in your practical notebook.
D. Show the notebook to the instructor and clean the table before you leave.
