Autodesk Fusion 360

Autodesk Fusion 360

Autodesk Fusion 360 The Complete Guide is designed to give you a solid understanding of Fusion 360’s modeling features and capabilities. This course is designed to use all learning styles from text, audio, video, interactivity, and quizzes. Fusion 360 is a 3D CAD, CAM, and CAE tool. It connects your entire product development process in a single cloud-based platform – that works on both Mac and PC.

You’ll follow a workflow-based approach that mirrors the development of projects in the real world, learning 2D drawing skills, editing entities, working with T-Splines, adding images and materials, using inspection tools and creating drawings.
