![]() Perhaps the biggest news is that Autodesk now owns the Eagle PCB design tools. The company has acquired a number of outfits that are feeding technology and capability into Fusion 360. If you weren’t aware, Autodesk has been on something of a spending spree when it comes to electronics design. Here, Fusion’s ability to mix all of these up, using direct modelling techniques to finalise the form, makes a lot of sense. What makes sheet metal interesting in the context of fusion is that the process is always tied to building forms that take reference from other parts of a products’ structure - whether that’s building around PCB boards, within injection moulded components or encasing more mechanical or electronic/electrical items in a form that can be fabricated. The workfl ow looks as you would expect, with a little bit of that Fusion magic added in.Īs with all sheet metal design tools, the concept is that you’re always working with a uniform thickness sheet material, adding fl anges, bends and other features as you work up your model. 2 Sheet metal and PCB integration/interoperability will greatly benefit multi-disciplinary teams Sheet metalįrom the brief demo we saw, Fusion 360’s sheet metal tools are nearly ready. ![]()
