The Leading Edge Of The Thread

Top How To Draw Threads In Fusion 360 ChoicesI’ll hide the nut component so we can work with the edge of the threads. I’ll then select the face of the edge, before hitting the keyboard shortcut letter β€œF,” as in Foxtrot, for the fillet command. We want to offset the face a negative distance to add a slightly larger clearance between this external thread and the internal thread of the nut. We’ll select the top thread flank and then we’ll hit the keyboard shortcut letter β€œQ”, as in Quebec. Remember this shortcut activates either the press pull command or the offset faces command, based on our selection. Unfortunately, at this time Fusion 360 does not have a clearance option built into the thread command. Instead, what you have to do is offset the thread faces based on your printer tolerances. If you’re going to 3D Print a thread the pitch is one area that takes some trial and error. A lot of pitches that can be used for metal threads simply will not print well, due to their close proximity not working with the tolerances of a 3D Printer. In its current state, the thread is just a decal or image representing the threads. This is because in most CAD assemblies you’ll just need to note the threads in a 2D drawing for manufacturing. The decals will keep your Fusion 360 file running much faster, especially in large assemblies with hundreds of screws. By default, Fusion 360 threads are solely cosmetic. They are simply a decal that wraps around a cylinder. This is because most CAD assemblies only need the thread types documented in the 2D drawing. Fusion 360’s Thread feature offers several preset thread types. All of the thread types are based on industry. Global standards that are produced for different product needs.
