Add grip texture to a handle in Fusion 360
A
I want to print a 30 mm diameter handle for a handheld tool, in SLS nylon, and I’m designing the part on Fusion 360. It needs a grip texture that balances ergonomics, durability, and ease of cleaning in a workshop setting (oil, dust exposure). I’m considering knurling, hexagons, or stippling but want to keep it manufacturable and easy to clean. What’s the best approach in Fusion 360 to create an embossed texture that won’t cause issues in printing or post-processing?
