Draw a Printable Bracket in Fusion

Model a simple printable bracket using a constrained sketch, extrusion, holes and fillets.

Step 1

Draw the side profile

Create a new component, sketch the bracket side on an origin plane, add the base and upright, then dimension the overall height, foot length and material thickness.

Name useful values: width, thickness, height and foot_length.
Keep the first sketch simple enough to edit.

Step 2

Create the solid and holes

Extrude the closed profile to the bracket width. Sketch hole centres from stable edges or the origin, then use Hole or Extrude Cut with the required diameter.

Use symmetric extrusion when the centre plane will be useful later.
For a screw fit, size the printed test hole from measured results, not the screw label alone.

Step 3

Finish for printing

Add an inside fillet to reduce the sharp stress concentration. Keep the chosen bed face flat, export a 3MF, and inspect support and layer direction in the slicer.

Place load-bearing fillets away from surfaces that must sit flush.
Print a short section first when hole fit or wall strength is uncertain.

Keep in mind

The example dimensions in the illustration explain the workflow; select dimensions for the real load, fastener and printer.

The workflow is rephrased from current Autodesk documentation. Fit guidance is intentionally test-based because printed dimensions depend on the complete process.
