How To Model A Working Mechanical Iris in Fusion

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

In this video we are tackling a question from Troy at heartmadewoodworking.com/
Troy makes some amazing wood designs and was working on this design which I thought was a great opportunity for a video.
If you just want to take a look at the final model you can see it here.

We focused on how to model and understand the mechanical motion without planning to manufacture the design.

    A few years back a friend of mine brought me a 3D printed design of a mechanism like this with a lifting platform incorporated into the motion. I spent days and days in Fusion modeling everything and figuring out joints and limits and contact boundaries to get a design that was going to be machinable. I REALLY could have used a tutorial like this back when I was trying to figure it out 😂. Once I got it figured out though it was so satisfying knowing I took a huge step in my modeling abilities. I ended up machining all the pieces on my 5 axis machine and it’s still one of my favorite projects I’ve ever made. I never quite got to a design that was machinable and could completely close the iris, but I got pretty close. This design could have definitely solved my problem. Anyways, thanks for making this content, these videos show me little shortcuts that I didn’t even know existed to speed up my modeling process. So thanks for taking the time to make these videos!

    Awesome thanks for sharing! that must have been fun to see that project to completion! even if it wasn't perfect in the end.

    Happy to help! This is like the most simple style but we can cover some of the others in future videos. That can get pretty intricate. Im 3d printing this one now.. :)

    Noted! I plan on doing a few more of these :) With woodworking do you have your own setup to machine the parts? are you programming in fusion as well?

    Amazing work! However i went along all the video while doing this model and only the revolt join seems to show,i have the free version,does that have something that limits what animations i can use?

    No they should all show. Do you mean after you add them you only see one or do you mean when you apply them you only see revolute? For the as-built-joint there should be a drop down to see all of them. for the Joint, there is a second tab to pick the joint type.

    I retried it all from the start and now it worked,the only thing that i made different is that i made the "body" a component and fixed it
