FUSION 360, FINAL EXAMINATION

BEFORE YOU START: If you have not yet done so, create a new folder on your COLOR DRIVE network space, called FUSION_360. In this FUSION_360 folder, create another new folder called “FINAL EXAM”. You will need to EXPORT your drawings as .F3D files and save them to your FINAL_EXAM folder for grading!

FINAL EXAM: This exam is a review of most of the tools and techniques that you have learned throughout the quarter working with Fusion 360. For each skill, there will be a small problem listing. Do your best to follow the instructions for each problem. EXPORT EACH FILE as a .F3D file into your FINAL EXAM folder as you go. Save them as requested on each individual problem.

Each of the first 9 problems is worth 10 points. Problem 10 is a mini-project problem and will be worth 60 points, for a total of 150 points for this exam. The test will be graded on accuracy and precision for Problems 1-9 and on Creativity, Style and demonstration of ability for Problem 10. Your models should look like the images below!

Problem ONE: SKETCH AND EXTRUDE (known as BASE MODEL FOR THE REST OF THIS EXAM! You will create this figure a number of times for this test!)

  • Create a new canvas.
  • On the XY axis, create a SKETCH.
  • At the origin, create a circle with a diameter of 25 mm.
  • EXTRUDE that circle to be 50 mm tall.
  • EXPORT to your EXAM folder as SKETCH_EXTRUDE.F3D

Problem TWO: EDITING SKETCHES.

  • Create the BASE MODEL from Problem ONE.
  • Edit your original sketch to cut your original 25 mm circle in half, leaving a standing semi-circular pillar.
  • EXPORT to your EXAM folder as SKETCH_EDIT.F3D

Problem THREE: SHELL.

  • Create the BASE MODEL from Problem ONE.
  • Using the SHELL tool, hollow out the base model from the top surface to a width of 5 mm.
  • EXPORT to your EXAM folder as SHELL.F3D

Problem FOUR: LOFT.

  • Create the BASE MODEL SKETCH from Problem ONE. DO NOT EXTRUDE.
  • Using the OFFSET PLANE TOOL, create an OFFSET PLANE directly above the origin at a height of 50 mm.
  • Using the SKETCH tool, create a 12.5 mm circle at the origin on the OFFSET PLANE.
  • Using the LOFT tool, connect the lower and upper circles to create a cone shape.
  • EXPORT to your EXAM folder as LOFT.F3D

Problem FIVE: REVOLVE.

  • Using the SKETCH command, create the sketch to the right on the XZ Plane.
  • Using the REVOLVE TOOL, select your sketch above as the profile for your REVOLVE and select the Z AXIS as the axis.
  • EXPORT to your EXAM folder as REVOLVE.F3D

Problem SIX: FILLET.

  • Create the BASE MODEL from Problem ONE.
  • Using the FILLET TOOL, round the top and bottom edges of this model to 5 mm.
  • EXPORT to your EXAM folder as FILLET.F3D

Problem SEVEN: HOLE AND THREAD.

  • Create the BASE MODEL from Problem ONE.
  • Using the HOLE TOOL, place a 10 mm hole in the exact center of the top of your model. Set the depth of this HOLE to be 10 mm, as well
  • Set the HOLE TAP TYPE to be THREADED and the THREAD OFFSET to be FULL and the DRILL POINT to be FLAT.
  • EXPORT to your EXAM folder as HOLE_THREAD.F3D

Problem EIGHT: TEXT AND EMBOSS.

  • Create the BASE MODEL from Problem ONE.
  • Using the OFFSET PLANE TOOL, create an OFFSET PLANE directly above the TOP of your model to a height of 10 mm.
  • Create a SKETCH on that OFFSET PLANE.
  • Using the TEXT TOOL, create the LETTER E, make sure to CENTER it from left to right and top to bottom so that it is centered directly above your model.
