Before we begin modeling and prototyping our designs, we’ll review several foundational concepts that will help us anticipate necessary modifications to our designs during the engineering and manufacturing phases. By understanding how designs are made and assembled, we can create better designs from the start. In this course, we explore the core concepts behind Fusion 360 CAD/CAM through a series of lectures and hands-on exercises to set you on a path toward success, right from the start.
