Loft and Rails Function - Modelling a suction hose nozzle using Fusion 360
Here is a nice demo of how to model a suction hose in Fusion 360 using the Loft function with the Rails option. Properly used, this function offers the possibility of modeling organic shapes, which is particularly relevant for models that must have ergonomic quality. I think that is a nice topic for those out there that are interested in modelling and it´s also of use in the workshop, to create suction adapters for your machines.
