Fusion Work

  1. Brainstorm what I could potentiallly need in life
  2. I decided to make a perch like table so I can enjoy the view of Boston from my room
  3. Thought about the size of our plywood and what I needed so I pretty much used the entire sheet
  4. Once you finish your design you have to convert it to an arrangment and lay your piece flat on the sheet
  5. Then assign tool paths in the manufacturing section
  6. Make sure to download plug in to add dog bones to your design or else it will not fit together

Place Pieces as an arrangement in fusion
