Design a product from concept to manufacturing
Ever wonder how to develop your idea with an easy to use yet powerful and flexible CAD package? Very often it takes a long time to get the hang of a tool and become productive. Fusion 360 and this course will help you to quickly develop high quality projects.
Design differently
Fusion 360 is a cloud-based CAD/CAM tool that combines organic shapes modelling, mechanical design, and manufacturing in one comprehensive package. In this course you will learn how to sculpt your idea, then move to parts and assembly modeling, and, as a final step, create drawings, renderings and prepare for manufacturing on a CNC machine or a 3D printer. You can also view translated versions of this course on YouTube in Spanish, Polish, French, and German.
Project resource download
Introduction In this first lecture you will learn how to create a project and upload data.
Product Design datasets Download these datasets to get started with the project.
Sketching In this section you will create 2D sketches, define constraints, and create the first 3D part.
Sculpting In this section you will work with free forms, modify and fine-tune t-splines.
