    How to dynamically create 3D formed threads for 3D printing and control the tolerances.

    So, this is the video I shared in another thread here on the forums. I'm reposting it here so it is easier to find. It's about creating a "custom tool" to make 3D threads quickly and easily using the Dynamic Parts Library of Alibre. In his video, you will see how to design, make into a dynamic...

    Joints

    Hi, Apparently, there is a tool in Fusion360 to split an object into two using a "cutting tool". I attach the image of a friend who is using this to make joints for 3d prints. Short of using a boolean subtract, which would leave you with two half pieces of the same part that cannot be easily...

    Trying to align (boolean unite) to a plane

    I have created two parts, each with a specific reference plane. I am trying to do a boolean unite and align these two objects with each objects specific reference plane. Unfortunately, the reference planes do not appear when I do the boolean unite. Is there any way to make reference planes in...
