Summary

In this chapter, we covered the basics of working with a scanned mesh model. We were able to bring the mesh into Fusion 360 and clean the model by removing any extra faces and then patching up any extra holes. We then created a solid model base and combined the two so that it could be placed into the Manufacturing space to be 3D printed.

Congratulations! You have completed this chapter and, hopefully, all the previous chapters as well. There is a lot more to accomplish using Fusion 360 and I hope this book gives you some great ideas on how to create, design, and 3D print your wonderful and amazing ideas. Please post your creations to my LinkedIn page and let me and the world see what you were able to accomplish. I’d love to see what you have done. Good luck, and I hope you have as much fun as I do while working in Fusion 360.
