Cnc router fusion 3609/4/2023 ![]() In the top cutaway of the body, I used a triangle with a 15.9 degree angle that was just over 3.6 inches long. The larger the angle at the edge you're cutting, the bigger the cutaway will be. Step 2: Draw the triangle with the point starting at the line edge you want cut away. Step 1: Create a new plane for which you can draw a triangle on which is at the end of one of your cutaway lines. The way I find to be the easiest is to draw a triangle and then use the Sweep function to cut away the body you want removed. The question I get asked the most is how I did the cutaways. I then extruded out the pickups, volume and neck cavities. ![]() So you'll want to extrude the body to your total depth desired at this point. I ended up making the body 1.55 inches thick, which also helped make the guitar more manageable since maple is a pretty heavy wood. I knew that my maple glue up was roughly 1.65 inches, so I needed a body that was going to be thinner than that, allowing me to do a facing operation with the CNC machine to make sure it was clean and level. Now from the sketching, we're moving into the actual 3d aspect. Once I knew where all of my hardware was going to be placed, I gave it a few more lines where I wanted to trace the cutaways in the body. Once happy with the body shape, I added the volume cavity, both pickups as well as the neck cutaway. ![]() I decided to go with the classic Tele style top and a volume control cavity to style, but I wanted to use humbucker pickups and add some SG style lines. ![]() I wanted to do a mix between a Les Paul and a Gibson SG. After overlaying both designs, I started with the general shape of the guitar. This will help especially if you design the neck in the future. ![]() This will allow you to calibrate any of the measurements in the blueprint to be scaled to actual size in Fusion.īefore doing anything else, draw a construction center line down the guitar. Once I imported a canvas (Insert -> Canvas), you can right click on the Canvas on the left side of the screen and select Calibrate. A great feature in Fusion 360 is the capability to calibrate a canvas to make it to scale. I grabbed a Telecaster and a double cutaway Les Paul to use as examples. If this is your first time designing a guitar body, I'd grab some guitar blueprints online first and use those as a baseline. ![]()
