Adding draft to parts is essential for manufacturing processes that involve a mold; cast parts, injection molded parts, and thermoformed parts come to mind. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to be able to not only<\/EM> add<\/STRONG> draft, but to also verify<\/STRONG> where draft angles are insufficient or missing completely.<\/P>

 <\/P>

If an inadequate draft is found, there are various techniques that you can employ to change that, and many times you\u2019ll find the history-based parametric design in Fusion 360 really pays off here!<\/P>

Take a look at this QUICK TIP to see how to use the draft analysis tool and use the findings from that to make changes to your designs:<\/P>
