Explore the essential tools in Fusion 360’s 3D CAD/CAM environment, whether you are new to CAD or already work with parametric design software.
Apply new skills to a practical design challenge. Project-based learning is supported by guided videos, an instructor presentation, printed participant materials, a lesson plan, a syllabus and a quiz.
At the end of the course, you will be able to:
- Identify the main areas of the Autodesk Fusion 360 interface
- Describe the main workspaces in Autodesk Fusion 360
- Create new bodies and components using parametric solid models and sculpted free form models
- Join components as an assembly
- Create drawings of parts, including projected views, and annotations
- Render a design using ray tracing and cloud rendering
- Export a part to STL for 3D printing
- Share your design with others and collaborate on design changes
