That&#8217;s why the Fusion 360 Product Design Extension has you define a material early in your design process. This is where the magic starts. For example, when creating a sheet metal part, selecting your part\u2019s material will set up rules to help automate features. These include wall thickness, draft angles, fillet radius, and more. Thus, the benefit when changing from one plastic material to another is that you&#8217;ll see your plastic features automatically update per the new material rules. These material rules provide design advice if you have any potential issues with face draft, wall thickness, knife edges, or undercuts. In addition, they come pre-populated, but you also can customize them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"248\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Intelligentmaterials.jpg\" alt=\"intelligent-materials-3d-modeling-fusion-design-extension\" class=\"wp-image-27714\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Intelligentmaterials.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Intelligentmaterials-300x186.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Intelligentmaterials-305x188.jpg 305w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"plastic-features\"><strong>Plastic features<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Fusion Product Design Extension adds purpose-built features that automate the creation of bosses, snap features, and rib\/webs. Also, these plastic features automatically create secondary items like drafts, fillets, and associative top\/bottom features. By combining these features, you&#8217;ll get your designs done quicker and reduce features in your timeline. Even more, these features are all tied back to the material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, let&#8217;s say you swap your part material from ABS to Nylon. You&#8217;ll see that each feature connects to the rules update with proper wall thickness, draft angle, and inner fillet radius. Using conventional modeling workflows to create a simple boss (top and bottom, including a fastener) takes longer and includes fewer features than the Boss command in the Product Design Extension. The same goes for all the material-aware features.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"598\" height=\"180\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/image-5.jpg\" alt=\"geometric pattern-fusion-product-design-extension\" class=\"wp-image-27693\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/image-5.jpg 598w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/image-5-300x90.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 598px) 100vw, 598px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"geometric-pattern\"><strong>Geometric pattern<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To elevate your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/industry\/manufacturing\/consumer-products\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">consumer product design<\/a> a bit, we have added an industry-unique Geometric Pattern.
