[Special edition] Let's make an original smartphone stand with a 3D printer

[Moderator] First of all, could you talk about the features of Fusion 360?

[Fujimura] There are various 3D CADs in the world, and there are dozens of types.Some of them cost millions of yen, some are free, and there are a big difference in what they can do.

First of all, how much can be done with Fusion 360, it is almost a little below the middle -range class of the 3D CAD sold at the current 3D CAD.The 3D CAD of around 1 million yen is generally called a middle range, but in the 3D CAD in this area, you can usually purchase additional optional functions and expand, but Fusion 360 is all from the beginning.Contains functions.

The second advantage is the price.I mentioned that the 3D CAD of the middle range is around 1 million yen, but the Fusion 360 BASIC package is around 30,000 yen, and the upper version of Ultimate is 120,000 yen.From here on, it really sounds in this project, but if you are using personal use, hobbies, students, educational institutions, and non -profit users, you can basically use it for free, so we will try 3D CAD so far.I wanted to do it, but I couldn't buy it, or I was using a free 3D CAD now, and I want to step up to a slightly higher function, but it's perfect for those who can't buy it.

Now, manufacturing that utilizes digital technology has become a hot topic.What I could do as a soft maker there was a software support, so I broke the balance between prices and functions based on such places.Even though it is a positive meaning.That is also a big feature.

In the basic modeling, that is, in the design, there are multiple parts, combining them, and all of these things can be done.In addition, if you want to make something like a PC case, you will want a sheet metal function (sheet metal), but the sheet metal function will be implemented this year (2016), so it has enough functions to make all the PC cases itself.____ is inside.

Then, the normal 3D CAD is a flow of making it with dimensions, but has a scalpting function.What this is, it is a function that makes it easier for curved modeling to make.You can pull, push, or model with such intuitive nuances with a clay -like feeling.Until now, when I tried to do a 3D CAD, I remembered the tool, remembered where to use it, and I couldn't make it easy to think if I didn't increase the number of tools that I could use one by one.The feature is that if you use the scalp function, if you can learn about 5 tools, you can make it like a clay.

Another major feature is that it supports the cloud in earnest.The 3D data created with Fusion 360 is stored on the cloud, so you can continue the work immediately from other machines.Rendering processing with a high CPU load can be performed at high speed using the power of the cloud server.

[Moderator] I think the application range of 3D CAD is very wide, but what do you think of when you use it within your hobby?

[Fujimura] Fusion 360 is characterized by a very wide range of users. Until now, 3D CAD is the image of a tool used by designers, and personal use is a software that is close to 3D CG.There were many people.However, Fusion 360 can be used like 3D CG as described above.

So, for individuals, there are many hobby use.For example, you can make a plastic model or a customization of Choro Q, or something that you want to make.What I want to extend in the future is the mass market, so I would like to make cosplay props, and in short, I would like to actually make things and promote output applications.

If you use a 3D printer, you really need 3D data, so many people already use CAD.I also design at the work of the company and use a high 3D CAD, but when I want to make something at home, I can't buy a 3D CAD of 3 million yen, so I'm doing it with Fusion 360.increase.Also, even in the design office, the price is cheap, and the user base is quite wide, such as using Fusion 360 to say that this is enough.

[Moderator] In fact, it can be used in a place that is surprisingly close to a hobby.

[Fujimura] I also make my own PC, but I really want to make my own keyboard or my own mouse.If it's about a mouse, you'll be able to scan your hands, scan the clay that pressed the mold, and make a mouse that fits your hands.If you want to make something, you can do it with Fusion 360.
