Fusion 360 Skateboard Decks Sculpted Revision 2 This document will guide you through creating a skateboard blank and deck using the Sculpt and Model workspaces. We will begin by making a quick hand sketch of your existing blank. Then, we’ll create a plane in the Sculpt workspace that is the size of your blank. We’ll use the sculpting commands, primarily Edit Form to shape our form into the bottom surface of the blank. We’ll finish creating the blank by thickening the surface. As a bonus (for Benson students) I’ve included steps to cut out the form of a skateboard.

Fusion 360 Skateboard Decks
Sculpted Revision 2
This document will guide you through creating a skateboard blank and deck using
the Sculpt and Model workspaces. We will begin by making a quick hand sketch of
your existing blank. Then, we’ll create a plane in the Sculpt workspace that is the

our form into the bottom surface of the blank. We’ll finish creating the blank by
thickening the surface. As a bonus (for Benson students) I’ve included steps to cut
out the form of a skateboard.
