How to Make a Phone Case in Fusion 360

My name is Aarav and I am a freshman at Portage Northern High School and I will show you how to design your very own phone case on Fusion 360! This project is made on Fusion 360.

You Will Need:

A life

Fusion 360 access

A device to use the software on

Troubleshooting skills

Ability to not get frustrated (mostly)

The model this guide shows you how to make

Import a step file of the phone the case is being made for by going to a website like GrabCad. Import the model into Fusion 360.

Create a sketch of the side of your device very precisely and then use the offset feature to offset it by 2mm then close the gap between the original and the offseted line

Now, by using a mix of the extrude feature and the sweep feature that you can find under the create page.

Click on your now bumper and click v, using the sketch feature trace out a sealed shape for where your buttons are going to be extruded then will cut into the bumper (same goes for the charging port and speaker area).

Click on the back surface of your device and then extrude it by 2mm and then combine so it can be 1 piece using the combine feature under the modify page.

Outline the camera hole on your case and extrude it by 2mm (will require the sketch feature).

Go around your case and add fillets or chamfers where you think it is necessary (definitely add a chamfer to the camera part of the case). I recommend all the holes and the elevated areas.

Now, make everything but the case dissapear and press s on your keyboard and search scale and chose the scale option. Scale it up to 1.0015. Print with flexible material.

Note:I have not printed this quite yet so please let me know what scale up works
