Create a Honeycomb or Hexagon Pattern in Fusion 360 | Easy Beginner Tutorial

Learn how to create a honeycomb or hexagon pattern in Fusion 360 — the easy way! In this beginner-friendly Fusion 360 tutorial, we’ll walk through the exact process to design a hexagon infill pattern for projects like coasters, grids, vents, or lightweight 3D printed parts.

You’ll see how to sketch, pattern, and extrude a clean honeycomb structure — without using complex math or measurements. This step-by-step guide focuses on quick and simple techniques that give professional results for 3D printing or CNC machining.

What You’ll Learn:
What we’re creating (honeycomb coaster)
Creating the base outline for the design
Sketching your first hexagon shape
Setting up offsets and alignment guides
Duplicating and aligning hexagons manually
Creating a rectangular pattern for the honeycomb structure
Adjusting spacing for perfect fit
Cleaning up guide lines and sketch prep
Extruding your pattern to finalize the 3D design
Applying your pattern to any Fusion 360 body

By the end of this video, you’ll know how to:
Create a perfect hexagon or honeycomb pattern in Fusion 360
