How to CAD Model a Die With Fusion360

I made a die by using basic modelling techniques in Fusion 360.

Dublin Jerome High School

• Fusion360
• Computer
• Mouse

• find 'create new component' in the dropdown menu (upper left hand side)
• click 'create sketch' (upper left hand corner)
• select the 'rectangle' tool (upper left hand corner)
• click on the sketch plane and set the dimensions to '25x25' mm
• click the green 'finish sketch' button in the upper right hand corner

• select the blue shaded square
• click the 'extrude' button from the menu bar (on top)
• type in 25 mm
• click enter to finish extruding

Now we have a cube (25mm x 25mm)

• select the 'fillet' tool from the menu bar
• click the 12 edges and fillet by 3mm

refer to the images above

• select one of the faces on the cube
• click 'create sketch' (upper left hand side)
• draw lines from corner to corner
• draw lines from center to center (refer to image above)

then,

• click the center circle tool
• align the center of the circle to where you want the dot to be and press
• type in 4mm
• press enter
• continue until you have your desired amount of circles where you want them

(the example is for 5)

• click extrude from the menu bar
• select all the dots (make sure ONLY the circles are highlighted)
• type -1.5 in the extrude text box
• enter

Now that we have a face with dots that are slightly indented, we need to make them curved like the model die

• select the fillet tool from the menu bar
• click the circles, but make sure you have the ones UNDERNEATH the face, like the second layer that was extruded down
• type in 2mm
• enter

Almost done!

• press the 'a' key on your keyboard
• scroll down on the menu that pops up
• click plastics
• find the colors you want and drag them back up
• now, you can drag the colors onto your die wherever you want them

make sure you click the save button so you don't lose all your progress!!!
