Create a Custom Sheet Metal Rule in Fusion 360

The video tutorial covers the use of sheet metal rules in Fusion 360, focusing on creating and applying custom rules for 304 stainless steel with a thickness of 18 gauge. It explains the importance of the K factor in bending, setting additional parameters like mitre, rip, and seam gap, and the benefits of custom rules in the design and prototyping process. The tutorial also demonstrates how to switch between rules and apply them to designs, emphasizing the flexibility and adaptability of sheet metal components in Fusion 360.

What material and thickness were chosen for the new sheet metal rule in Fusion 360?

• Aluminum, 16 gauge

• 304 stainless steel, 18 gauge

• Copper, 20 gauge

• Brass, 22 gauge

What is the K factor in sheet metal design?

• The length of the sheet metal

• The width of the sheet metal

• The thickness of the material

• The ratio between the neutral axis and the material thickness

Which of the following can be defined in the sheet metal rule settings?

• Color of the sheet metal

• Mitre, rip, and seam gap

• Weight of the sheet metal

• Type of metal

What happens when a new sheet metal rule is applied to a design?

• The design remains unchanged

• The design adapts to the new thickness and bend parameters

• The design is deleted

• The design is exported to a different format

How can a default sheet metal rule be set in Fusion 360?

• By dragging it to the top of the list

• By selecting it in the design view

• By renaming it to 'default'

• By right-clicking on the rule in the library folder
