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.

hi I am 8 sem btech student . when I learn solidworks then my teachers does not give any assembly drawings . but now I have drawings by fusion 360.
THANK YOU AUTODESK............YOU GUYS ARE HELPING US A LOTS.....I AM A STUDENT AND WILL BE EXTREAMLY THANKFUL FOR YOUR USEFULL SOFTWARES, STUDY MATERIALS AND OTHER STUFFS....
thank you a lot for giving this
Very Helpful Resource, Doing a great job!!
Very Helpful Resource, Doing a great job!!
This site is amazing to learn CAD/CAM, i love this so much!
how do i add student logins
for multiple students in my class
I have login into the Autodesk Design Academy account but unable to go into this link.

Please advice.
such a brief information on fusion!!!! great job guys.
useless video as we dont have access to the files!
Why is there no option given to download the whole data set as one download instead of having to do it one at a time. A real waste of time.
Autodesk, you the best and I hope you will improve your product!
I am an Engineering Student, and Autodesk made my work more easier as a drawing lover. I am very grateful for the better knowledge and skills Autodesk has provided me with. Thank you once more Autodesk
I cant get access to the files? Anyone have better luck?
Thank You!, For this site made available for students, who don't understand how to use FUSION 360...
