Fusion 360 Surface Modeling Tutorial - Core Concepts Explained
Ғылым және технология
Fusion 360’s surface tools offer several advantages. In this video, we’ll take a look at using core surface tools to surface model a spoon.
I’ll walk you through a common “skeleton” technique that we'll use to reference the top profile shape. We’ll complete the surface model by surfacing the handle and trimming the excess material away.

Yeeeeessss.... ;-(
I learned that I really suck at modeling... time to binge on your videos!! Thank you
Everything was new to me. Intersect tool is super useful. This is the kind of tutorial I need to really learn Fusion. Thanks!!
This is certainly eye-opening! I need to watch this tutorial multiple times, as I am picking up many tricks you used in the tutorial, though I think it will take me a long while before I can even repeat what you did! Thanks again!
I can't tell you how helpful your tutorial has been for me as a Fusion noob. Great job articulating the steps in a clear, concise fashion. Thank you!
This is the best lofting video I have seen. Very clear and easy to follow. Thank you.
Really good tutorial. Brings me back to university days. I really appreciate the clear steps and the fact that you broke it into chapters
Great to learn how you fully define your 3d geometry. Impressive!
The whole surface modeling technique is amazing. Excellent video
Thank you so much! 5 spoons later I have been able to understand every concept and tool behind each step of this demo. Intersect and selecting one among coincident lines by holding and releasing the left mouse button were unknown to me until I saw your video. But it also helped me to consolidate and improve my knowledge about better practices like constraining, projecting and organizing sketches and views. I haven't been able to apply Fillet on it, but I will leave it for now and move to the next "lesson". Thank you again for these videos.

selecting one among coincident lines? wait what??? Can you give me a time stamp? That sounds important and I missed it.
Love it, finally understanding how does this kinda weird shapes work on fusion360!
The intersect and tangent arc tools, never really used those in the past. I also picked up on you using the "S" shortcut for the search toolbox, very handy as I hadn't used that in a while. Also gained a little more knowledge of surface modeling. As always your tutorials are very well presented along with you providing the project resources!
Great! I've learned about the power of the patch command with rails, keeping an eye on sketches for being constrained, and reversing the surface normals. Thanks!
Very useful. I have watched it several times to pick up details. The importance of having things fully constrained.
this is the most smooth tutorial ever in youtube, love it
Nicely done. Intersect is definitely that I need to learn more. Thanks!
Surface modelling was a mystery to me .... 50% mystery solved. Thank you for the interesting project selection.
This is a great tutorial to learn about working with multiple sketches in different dimensions.
Kevin, you are the man! I consider you a Fusion 360 God! You make everything super clear and concise, and you show the application of different tools in ways that I would have never known about or how to use. Thank you so much for your exhilarating videos!

Tangent arc is so useful! Great video, this is just what I needed.
Awesome !!! after watching this video i realized i have to learn a lot from your entire collections.
you are the best youtuber ever, because i can learnt a lot about fusion 360, thanks!
Thanks bro!After watching this tutorial,i am able to create a precise wireframe of sketches and get ultra precision with modeling anything.
Great video. A humble spoon teaches us the thin line between hobbyist approach and industrial product design. Thanks very much.
This is precisely what I needed to know in order to model a sink...THANKS!! Subscribed!
Thanks for making these videos. This was a good exercise. The intersect and project tools are very handy to use. Also seeing that the Patch tool has internal rail selections is a game changer and helps reach that next level in modeling with f360. It seems to me that it's better to do the last loft in two parts. Loft the two identical profiles first, then connect that surface body with the edge of the spoon shape. This allows you to use the tangent feature on the second, shorter loft and get a cleaner final product. Using this method I was able to use the fillet command after thickening the spoon without any issues. I wasn't able to apply fillets to the thickened body properly with the method shown in the video, unless I did something wrong or missed something.
I learned about tangent arc and a different way to surface a awkward shape great tutorial keep up the good work learn more each time I watch.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge - the intersect tool alone is worth watching your video
Love your channel! new to surfacing, the intersect tool is my biggest take-away.
I learned the project command. This is gonna save me sooo much time. Thank you.
this video is amazing! i learned a lot about surface modeling.
The thing I learned from this one is that there still so much for me learn, thanks for tutorials I hoop you and your family are in good health in this hard times.

Great video. For me a glimpse of what i might do in the future once I learn the prerequisite skills!
Great tutorial! Thanks!
Amazing tutorial :) loved it, Thanks
your tutorial fusion360 videos is going to be develop my design knoledge.. thank you so much ....
I learnt soo much from this single video! Thanks a ton.
That was very enlightening. Thanks
I learned how useful the intersect feature is along with projection. Sort of shocked how I was doing this all wrong before and this has taught me that I need to take the time to learn Fusion360 features and not just stick with basics.
So brief and well explained
Never notice the patch tool also has the interior rails selection, that's awesome!
For a simple Spoon -So much Work :D
Gorgeous! Thanks for sharing.
Love the content, always learn something new, I have not used the surface tools at all yet so I learned how to use all of those and I am quite excited to give them a shot!

Excellent Tutorial.
informative way to sketch thank you alot i have learned , projection, constraints, surfacing.
Thanks. Perfect explanation
I'm a hobbyist/casual user of Fusion for the past year. I mainly make parts for my street rod and really enjoy learning and using this powerful product. As already stated I learned how much I don't know and still continue to learn. Great video and well presented. Peter

A very good tutorial and I have learned some new techniques, thanks
The Project feature is new for me. Thanks!
Thank you, this was hugely helpful
Thank you for the lesson.
not only one thing, i learn many things from this video
So much to learn! Next Level! I am just hoping I can remember half ow what you showed. The 3-d sketch visualization with the intersect tool was awesome
Man, I was strugling for hours with "loft" function and you solved my problem with your "patch" and "thicken" in few minutes !!! Thank you )) ...and I didn't even care about spoons but propellers.

Indeed! Patch with internal rails is awesome. Been banging my head against loft/sweep trying to get the shape I need for months now. So much simpler.
very nicely explained...keep up the good work
Okay i finally got the hang on project/intersect. Thanks Fusionmaster :)

Thanks for clear tutorial
I think this may have been the next thing I needed to learn for my next jewelry design.
excellent project, intersect a lot to learn
my workflow doesn't really use surface modeling but for some reason, I just keep watching your videos, keep up the excellent work
Another good video Kevin, Thank you! I learned that there's more than one way to skin a Cat! Looking forward to the next one.
Wow just amazing great educational video
I learned about the Surface Tab. I was amazed with Solid Tab functions, the possibilities of the Surface Tab humbles my soul.

Surfaces are like learning another language. Very powerful though :)
Thanks a ton What I learned is surface tool use. I only use solid body , so this is a good step up for me thanks 👍
I am shifting from solidworks because I need a G3 modeler now. So you have helped me understand the workflow more and I thank you for this.
Thanks Very much. Great work.
Great video! I finally understood how to use constraints and the surface tool. Now I can use this knowledge on one of my own projects. Thank you! I have one question though: For some reason I couldn't apply the fillet either. Any idea why this happens?
Great video!
You make it look so easy. Thank you for posting this :-)

Wow. I Learned a ton on that one. Mainly intersect and how to create the planes with the construction lines. Looking for another at this level.
after watch your video and practice by my own, I believe I m definitely upper intermediate lever in fusion now. Thank you, Kevin!

Hi. What I learned is the surface/patch tool. It will help me to reduce time creation of some models.
🌹I learned a lot from this video thank you
good video. thanks
I've never really used the arc tangent this way. and the parallel construction lines as guides are really doing the job. And the patch command with the interial rails...
This was a fantastic tutorial! Ive been having so many issues trying to make it make sense.;
good stuff, subbed.
Learnt intersect cmd. Thanks
K, This was quite a project. Lots of info for us, and a must to review a few times to get this one …. intersect surface loft to name a few. Thanks again. Hope all is well with you and yours.
Just yesterday i needed an egg shape like the spoon and resorted to do it with splines, wouldn't have thought of the tangent arc, now i know that is easier constraintwise, thank you! could you do a video about adding canvases and calibrating those correctly? because when zooming a basically zero thickness reference point becomes 10mm thick and a side profile doesn't fit the top canvas
very helpful !👍
I’ve only used solid rectilinear operations before; so much to learn!

Learned important basics, like turning on browser to keep an eye on the red fully constrained icon as you go. this has messed me up in my newbie drawings. thanks.
I learned about intersecting sketches, the tangent arc tool, and the plane at angle tool. Prior to this video, I did not know that the dimension tool only asked for the radius of the tangent arc. I also had never intersected a sketch. I would always project the full geometry in the past and make sure I carefully kept track of what geometry was relevant in my own mind. I had no clue that you could construct a plane on a line. That's going to come in handy.
Surface modelling is second nature to me, been at it since the late 80's when it was all typed commands, something like this would have been a good solid weeks work. Sign of a good CAD user is someone with a good understanding of surface modelling.
nice upload. keep it up!
I learned I need to use tangent arc a lot more :)
I try to remember to like all your videos! You are a great help to me a 15 year old noob to fusion 360 with a 3018 cnc and a 3d printer!
