A folding bed table designed with Claude and Fusion 360
A mechanical engineer used Claude's Fusion 360 connector to produce a collapsible table design, then strengthened weak points. A printed result is not reported.

The full story
A mechanical engineer had a folding bed-table design in mind but had not found time to model it. They gave Claude dimensions, hinge positions, overhang limits and a requirement to print the table in its collapsed position through the Fusion 360 connector.
The maker reports a design in about 15 minutes and two prompts using Opus 5.5 High. They still strengthened weak areas around the hexagonal leg openings. The post shows a CAD design; it does not report a completed physical print.
Before and after
- Starting problem
- An unmodelled folding-table idea.
- Reported result
- A CAD design with subsequent manual strengthening; physical printing is not reported.
