CNC Sheath Manufacturing Crash Course

Learn how to manufacture Kydex sheaths that fit perfectly and take minutes to make.

This course builds on the skills learned in Class 1 and 2 to quickly teach you the steps needed to design and manufacture kydex sheaths using molds and a CNC Router or Mill.

Prerequisite: You must complete Class 1 and 2 before taking this course. This course builds directly on the Fusion CAD and CAM skills covered in the previous classes.

What You’ll Learn:

My entire sheath-making process, along with all the equipment and tools you’ll need.
How to design a split mold and vacuum-form Kydex sheaths that fit perfectly without scratching your blade.
How to manufacture your molds using a CNC mill or router.
How to quickly set your work coordinate system on your machine so you can cut sheaths using your molds anytime you need.
How to adjust the retention and fit of your sheaths both in your mold and by hand.
How to design and manufacture a "Quad Mold" that makes four knife sheaths on a single piece of Kydex.
How to build a quick detach pallet system so you can swap out different sheath models in seconds.

This is not a standalone class. If you have completed Class 1 and 2 and have a basic understanding of Fusion 360 CAD/CAM, this course will get you making sheaths fast! It’s roughly 3 hours and 30 minutes of a straightforward, practical introduction to vacuum forming sheaths and making molds.
