This is a step-by-step in Fusion 360, drawing the complete bottle outline, revolving it 180 degrees and putting it in a box (so plaster can be poured into it). There is no audio so you can play it in class without fear. Every movement I make is subtitled. Menu choices and button clicks are delayed so you can clearly see what I am doing. I use parameters (creating them at the beginning) so the whole thing can be resized easily. The process emphasizes getting the placement of the pads right so the swing top mechanism will fit and work right.
Of course, there are many ways to do this drawing. The method I have chosen doesn't require getting into advanced features, the objective is to just get a bottle drawn.

How to draw a case mold for slip casting using Fusion 360
Drawing your objects in CAD software is the most difficult step in leveraging 3D printing for slip-casting. In this 11 minute step-by-step video, we will draw a case mold, using Fusion 360. It can be 3D printed and plaster poured in to make a working mold. Mold soap is not even needed. This method of quickly making a pilot mold is well within the reach of almost any potter.
