Fusion 360 can be used for just about any digital fabrication project. This project looks at a piece created by Norwegian artist, Magnhild Øen Nordahl.
We’ll take a simple reference image and turn it into a 3D body, followed by using the Manufacture workspace to set up some simple tool paths for a CNC.
This video is a high-level overview of a workflow that can be used to create your own unique objects, but note that it does not cover every detail of the CAM environment.
