Week 7- Part 2 Fusion 360

Fusion 360 Application of room 

Note:  Due to the unfortunate circumstances of being unable to use a laser printer I have reverted to the my main source of material being cardboard. The fusion 360 drawing was printed on A2 cardboard and will be assembled as if it was wood and laser cut, however the thickness of 3mm will not apply but the measurements and a 1:20 scale are as follows.

My first attempt was very much a fail and frustrating, having never used Fusion 360 the hot keys were hard to get use to, measurements weren't precise, extruding the wrong way and unmatched pieces intersecting.

The third attempt was much more easier and I managed to complete the layout of my room successfully. The ends interlocked and slipped in perfectly making the final outcome extremely smooth and clean.

Outcome when aligning and moving components 

Moving detached components onto a A2 drawing pad (1:1) to be able to print and assemble in 3D form, illustrator step is skipped as I wont have access to uni/ a laser printer 

The results of the final fusion 360 model was quite easy to assemble by sticking the A2 design printout on cardboard as the tabs easily slipped in and held together, however cutting the pieces was very time consuming (scale 1:20)

Fusion 360 with folding tabs 

Instead of interlocking seperate components and forming a three dimensional plane as shown with the cardboard cut out I have alternatively inserted tabs and attached components together, so each corner can be folder together smoothly.  

The final design was then transferred into a drawing on A2 size paper and printed out.

This was the result once cut out by an x-acto knife, ready to be folded and assembled.

Finally to construct the model for completion I folded the paper where the line was for each component and glued the tabs to each side. In summary the hidden folded tabs make the model very clean cut externally and precise, opposed to the interlocking method as you can see certain areas poking out.
