Introduction: How to Create a 3D Model of a Rocket?

By

Hello! I study in GEMS Millennium School. I have created a 3D Model of a rocket. My idea is to create a simple model of a rocket and it is purely theoretical. I created this model using Fusion 360. We will be using the sketch tool to create this model of a rocket. We will also add color to our rocket after we have finished creating the model.

Supplies

This is only a 3D model. So, the resources we will use are:

  1. Fusion 360

Hence, this is an easy model to design.

Step 1: Using the Sketch Tool

To do this step, follow the given steps:


  1. Open Fusion 360.
  2. Click on the "Sketch" option in the "Create" tab.
  3. Now selcet the plane as given in the picture.


We can now integrate the "sketch" tool in our design!

Step 2: Creating the Sketch

To create the sketch, follow the given steps:


  1. First, let us create the sketch of the Rocket. To do so click on the "Line" option. Now create points as shown in the picture.
  2. Secondly, let us create the exhaust. Again, click on the "Line" option. Create points as shown in the picture.
  3. Click on "Finish Sketch."


Your result should look like the one given in the picture.

Step 3: Creating the 3D Model

Now, we need to create a 3D model. To do so, follow the given steps:


  1. Select your sketches. We have in total 4 different sketches.
  2. Now click on the "Extrude" option.
  3. Set the distance (height) to 50 mm.


Congratulations! You have created a 3D model of a rocket!

Step 4: Adding Color

We should also add color to our 3D model of a rocket. To do so, follow the given steps:


  1. Click on the "Modify" option.
  2. Now click on the "Appearance" option.
  3. You can choose a color from the options given below and add them to your 3D model of a rocket.


Congratulations! You have successfully completed creating a 3D model of a rocket!
