Fusion 360 Sheet Metal Flat Pattern

To do that create the sheet metal part from scratch in fusion 360.

Fusion 360 sheet metal flat pattern.

With fusion 360 sheet metal features you can design for manufacturing right from the start creating a flat pattern for sheet metal design projects. Let s show how to create sheet metal bends folds flange unfold flat pattern and more. How to make flat patterns for rolled sheet metal designs.
