Hey all!

I previously asked if a surfaces tutorial in Fusion would be useful and people said yes... so here it is!

This tutorial outlines the 3 main ways you can use surface modelling in your CAD workflow to create complex solid bodies which are perfectly suited for 3D printing. They're a bit more advanced (and more things can go wrong) than solid modelling - but definitely worth investigating if you haven't yet!

Surface modelling is also available in most CAD packages including Onshape, Solidworks, FreeCAD and more.

If you have any questions (or would like something demonstrated or clarified) please let me know. I'll be happy to assist.
