About this Course

Design differently with Fusion 360. This cloud-powered tool from Autodesk the makers of AutoCAD, Inventor, and Maya is the key to instant 3D creativity, used for computer-aided design, manufacturing, and engineering (CAD, CAM, and CAE).

This essential training gives you the expertise to use Fusion 360 to turn your ideas into ready-to-manufacture designs.

Expert provides an overview of all the basic operations in Fusion 360, including sketching, extruding 3D objects from sketches, 3D modeling, sculpting, and surface modeling, and explains the functions of the software, while providing a solid foundation in the basics of effective 3D design.

Learn how to plan a project; model your ideas; work with sketches, meshes, and surfaces; generate files for 3D printing; and run simulations on your designs.
