A usage example

magento/magento2/blob/072a1ae/app/code/Magento/Catalog/Controller/Adminhtml/Product/Attribute/Save.php#L109-L125


try {
    /** @var $attributeSet \Magento\Eav\Model\Entity\Attribute\Set */
    $attributeSet = $this->buildFactory->create()
        ->setEntityTypeId($this->_entityTypeId)
        ->setSkeletonId($setId)
        ->setName($name)
        ->getAttributeSet();


} catch (AlreadyExistsException $alreadyExists) {
    $this->messageManager->addError(__('An attribute set named \'%1\' already exists.', $name));
    $this->_session->setAttributeData($data);
    return $this->returnResult('catalog/*/edit', ['_current' => true], ['error' => true]);
} catch (\Magento\Framework\Exception\LocalizedException $e) {
    $this->messageManager->addError($e->getMessage());
} catch (\Exception $e) {
    $this->messageManager->addException($e, __('Something went wrong while saving the attribute.'));
}

How does it work?

magento/magento2/blob/072a1ae/app/code/Magento/Catalog/Model/Product/AttributeSet/Build.php#L71-L90


/**
 * @return \Magento\Eav\Model\Entity\Attribute\Set
 * @throws AlreadyExistsException
 */
public function getAttributeSet()
{
    $this->validateParameters();
    /** @var \Magento\Eav\Model\Entity\Attribute\Set $attributeSet */
    $attributeSet = $this->attributeSetFactory->create();
    $attributeSet->setEntityTypeId($this->entityTypeId)->load($this->name, 'attribute_set_name');
    if ($attributeSet->getId()) {
        throw new AlreadyExistsException(__('Attribute Set already exists.'));
    }


    $attributeSet->setAttributeSetName($this->name)->validate();
    $attributeSet->save();
    $attributeSet->initFromSkeleton($this->skeletonId)->save();


    return $attributeSet;
}
