Animating with Fusion 360įusion 360 provides several options when animating a product design. Software, like our very own Fusion 360, provides animation tools to test certain parameters and functionality. You can edit the trajectory and the speed at which your animation plays. By animating the joints, you can see where one joint might collide with the other. Perhaps you are designing a product that has two interlocking joints and want to test the spatial tolerances of said joints. What better way to understand a 3D design than to break it apart into multiple different views? Stakeholders definitely want to know whether or not your product design functions correctly before approving it for production.Īnimations can also be used to understand the functionality of a moving part.

Animation in industrial designĪnimation is an important tool during the industrial design process because it helps communicate the assembly design to collaborators, stakeholders, and customers. It serves as a digital representation of a potential real-life scenario or object. Animation is an important tool to analyze aspects of a design before actually producing a physical prototype. As such, animation has more applications than just entertainment. When you think of animation, you probably envision the timeless classics of Dreamworks or Pixar but, as we all know, animation can encapsulate a variety of different genres.

When do animations come in handy for designers? How do you animate a design in Fusion 360? Look no further than this comprehensive tutorial.
