Not sure if anyone follows Corbin Dunn on Youtube, but he just posted a really nice video in which he details how he performs Vcarve inlays with Fusion 360.
He also wrote a plugin for Fusion to make the whole process easier. The plugin is free, but I actually paid for it – it was only $5.
The video is worth checking out:
Interesting test case, I don’t use Fusion so most the adjustments made I verbally understood but the author moved thru the software like he assumed folks now the program. It wasn’t clear if he did this test for each project to wind up with no gap between plugs or not? Or, did he just do a fit test once and apply the values for all of his inlays.
Definitely requires a familiarity with Fusion 360.
If have seen other ways to do Vcarve inlays with Fusion, but I don’t think I’ve seen inlays on curved surfaces before.
As a pretty adept fusion user, this plugin and explanation is awesome. It does assume you are comfortable with fusion with I actually appreciate.
Even the explanation is worth watching if you’re really interested in v-carving. He goes into quite a bit of detail on how he breaks down the steps to automate it with the plugin.
Agreed, it’s a great video and definitely worth watching.
He seems to be a pretty interesting guy. From what I can gather watching his videos, he was a software engineer at Apple.
