Half and Half Clock: Hybrid Manufacturing Tutorial

Expand your design and manufacturing horizons with this unique starter project from the CADCAM Educators Hub. Authored by our Autodesk Certified Instructors, this self-paced tutorial walks you through designing a functional, abstract clock that utilizes both 3D printing and laser cutting technology

What You Will Master:

  • Hybrid Production: Learn how to develop a single model with components optimized for different manufacturing methods (3D printing and laser cutting).

  • Advanced Sketching: Gain hands-on experience with the Fit Point Spline tool to create smooth, organic, and personal abstract designs.

  • Precision Engineering: Design a perfectly toleranced 8.2mm central hole to accommodate a standard short spindle clock mechanism.

  • Efficiency Tools: Master the Extend, Trim, and Offset commands to refine complex geometries quickly

  • Patterns & Logic: Use the Circular Pattern tool to accurately place time notches across a 180-degree partial distribution.

  • Multi-Format Exporting: Learn the professional workflow for exporting DXF files for laser cutting and STL files for 3D printing.

Tutorial Specifications:

  • Skill Level: 2 / 10 (Beginner Friendly).

  • Software: Autodesk Fusion.

  • Project Outcome: A personalized, fully functional clock with a professional abstract aesthetic.

  • What’s Included: A comprehensive step-by-step guide with annotated screenshots and technical learning checks to verify your skills.
