Creating a sear hole in Autodesk Fusion is a crucial step in the design of sheet metal parts. It allows for the insertion of fasteners, such as screws or bolts, to securely join two or more metal components. The sear hole is typically a round or elongated hole with a countersunk or dimpled surface, ensuring a flush and secure fit for the fastener head.
The process of creating a sear hole in Autodesk Fusion involves several key steps. First, the user must select the desired location for the hole on the sheet metal part. They can then use the “Hole” tool in the “Create” tab to define the size, shape, and depth of the hole. The “Countersink” or “Dimple” options can be applied to create the desired surface finish around the hole.
