Modelling a impeller with Fusion 360

This article will learn you how to model a impeller using Autodesk Fusion 360.

First, use the loft function on some offset scetches to produce the conical center.

Then create the blade profile. i drew three offset blade profiles using the spline tool in the scetch enviroment.

Then, go to scetch enviroment. In the *create* dropdown menu, select loft, and aply it to the blade profiles.

You now have one blade, but it needs to be trimmed. To trim the blade, it is advised to create another loft feature, offset from the original cone. then use the new patch feature as a guide to trim the blade.

Now, use the thicken tool in the create dropdown menu in the patch enviroment. Now you will get a new body, wich you will have to pattern the desired amount of. The pattern tool is found under the create dropdown menu in the model enviroment.

The blades stuck out a bit after combining the bodies, so i made two extra scetches to revolve cut the exces material away.

Now that the basic shape is done, threads and other features can be added.
