Section 2: Creating a speaker housing
Creating a speaker shell around required components
Now that you have studied basic modelling on Fusion 360 you will use and develop these
skills to create a 3D model of a speaker. You will use your knowledge of multibody design
and assemblies to help create the model. You will use the rigid joint tool to assemble
components into the design and create a top-down model around these components.
The components below must be downloaded and uploaded to your data panel. They will be
used throughout the design.

The shell feature
The shell tool is used to create a hollow cavity in parts. It removes material leaving a wall of
a specified thickness. Here we will use the shell tool to remove material from the top face
of the hexagon.
i) Expand the modify tab > select shell > select the top face > set inside thickness to 3
mm

hexagon as shown.

The mirror feature
Previously, you used the pattern and move/copy tools to duplicate bodies. The mirror tool
also allows you to duplicate faces, features, bodies or components. However, the mirror
tool is unique because it duplicates an exact mirrored copy an equal distance across a
selected face or plane.
Here we will use the mirror tool to create a second identical speaker in the same position
on the opposite side of the hexagon.
CAD Skills Guide
p) Expand the create tab > select mirror > set pattern type as ‘Components’ > select the
speaker as object > select the YZ plane as mirror plane

Mounting the speakers in the shell
Now that you have positioned the speakers
and amplifier in place, you must create
holes to mount them into the shell. There
are two main ways of creating a hole in
Fusion 360. As you have seen previously,
you can create an extruded cut which
removes the shape of a specified sketch
profile to a specified depth. We can use
the extrude cut feature to create holes by
simply sketching cylinders as the extrude
profiles.
Video tutorial: Creating speaker holes
However, there is also a second option when the shape to be cut is a circle the hole feature
creates cylindrical holes to specified standards.
The hole feature
The hole tool allows you to create a user-specified
hole on any face using edges or sketch points to
position. You can then select various hole types such
as simple, countersunk, counterbore, and tapped
(threaded) as shown in Figure 3.2.15 . The diameter
of the hole must be selected as well as the extent.
The extent can be set as a specified distance, up to a
surface or through all material.
Look at the shape of the speaker, you can see the
speaker is wider at the front than the piece that
goes through the shell. A counterbored hole will,
therefore, be suitable to mount the speaker.

a) Open the speaker file > select the measure tool > measure the diameters shown and
record the measurements

CAD Skills Guide
b) Expand create > select the hole tool > position the hole on the same centre as the
speaker > set the extent as ‘to’ > set the hole type as counterbore > create the head
0.5 mm greater than the diameter measured to create clearance > set the hole as 0.5
mm greater also > set the depth as 1.5 mm
Figure 3.2.18

c) Rotate the model and select the inside face as the extent to cut up to.
Figure 3.2.19
Creating the same speaker holes as extruded cuts
To create the holes using extruded cuts we must sketch a suitable circle profile. The sketch
project/include tool is very useful when creating the same profile of a different body or
component on the chosen sketch plane. In this case, we can simply project the speaker
profile and offset these sketches by 0.5 mm to create clearance. Another tool that will prove
useful when working with multiple bodies is “opacity control”. This is how transparent a
body appears.
We can set body 1 to be transparent to see the speaker profile more easily.
To make any body transparent, locate the body in browser > right click to get the short
menu > select opacity control > set the level of transparency required

The hole tool vs extruded cuts
In this case, both can provide the same result. However, using the hole feature is much
quicker and requires fewer steps. Also, let us take an example where the speaker size
changes, and we need to edit the model. Which will be easier to edit? Using the hole tool
means we only have one feature to edit. In this feature, we can adjust the size, the depth
and the style of hole.
Based on the ease of use and the ability to easily edit, it is best practice to use the hole
tool where possible to create cylindrical cuts.
Mirroring features
When you have created one hole you can mirror it to the other side just as you did with the
speaker. This time you will mirror the feature or features.
e) Expand the modify tab > select mirror > set

Creating mounting holes for the potentiometer and the audio jack
You must now create holes to mount the
potentiometer and audio jack in the audio
amplifier model. These components are
soldered to the PCB. When you design
your own unique speaker you will have the
choice to solder it to the board or connect
it with wires and place it anywhere in the
design. The process will be the same as
described below but you must place the
mount holes in the required position.

g) Repeat with the second circle and the audio jack.

Cutting the holes
To cut the holes we have the choice of using the hole tool or an extruded cut. In this case,
the holes need to be 2 mm larger than measured to allow for plenty of clearance when
fitting. The two holes needed are different diameters so two separate holes would need
to be used. Another option is to dimension the circles 2 mm greater than measured and
create one extruded cut using both profiles. This only requires one feature; therefore, the
extruded cut is a good option here.

Creating a top cover for the speaker
Video tutorial: Creating a top cover
You have now completed a speaker
housing to hold all the required electronic
components. You must now model a cover
to fit on the top of the speaker. You will use
your knowledge of multibody design to
create a separate body and ensure it is the
correct size to fit.

Adding Fillets/chamfers
Chamfers and fillets can be used to improve the appearance or function of a body.
Chamfer
The chamfer tool adds a bevel or angle to edges.
Fillet
The fillet tool adds a round or radius to edges.
Adding external chamfers or fillets removes material. This can reduce weight, improve the
aerodynamics of a project or can simply improve the aesthetics of a project. Adding an
internal fillet or chamfer adds material. This can improve strength and appearance

The Ministry coordinates with national higher education institutions to admit students in various majors in line with the needs of the labour
market and future human development plans. Higher Education institutions also determine the number of students that can be admitted
according to their capabilities, mission and goals. They also set the conditions for students’ admission to various programmes according
to the stream they graduated from, the levels of their performance in the secondary stage, and their results from the Emirates Standard
Assessment Test.
Integration and coordination between General and Higher Education systems allow for the approval and calculation of school
