Autodesk Fusion 360

“Fusion 360” is a relatively new cloud-based 3D CAD, CAM, and CAE platform for product development offered by Autodesk. It combines industrial and mechanical design, simulation, collaboration, and machining in a single package.

The tools in “Fusion 360” enable fast and easy exploration of design ideas with an integrated concept-to-production toolset. The cloud based solution which runs on Mac and PCs covers the entire product development process till manufacturing.

Prerequisites:

No previous CAD experience is necessary. The training course introduces the fundamental skills in learning the Autodesk “Fusion 360” software. Experience with the Windows operating system and a background in drawing 3D parts is recommended.

Course Objective:

Autodesk “Fusion 360” 3D CAD software offers an easy-to-use set of tools for 3D mechanical design, engineering and simulation, CAM, and team collaboration.

In this course, you will acquire the knowledge needed to complete the process of designing models from conceptual sketching, through to solid modelling, assembly design and drawing production Generative Design is a design process that uses the power of cloud computing to explore multiple permutations, generating alternatives, testing, and learning from each iteration.
