Introduction to Autodesk Fusion:

Fusion is a cloud-based 3D computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided engineering (CAE), and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software developed by Autodesk. It is a comprehensive tool that allows designers and engineers to create, simulate, and fabricate products using a single software platform.

Fusion offers a wide range of features and tools, including parametric modeling, freeform modeling, simulation, generative design, and CAM functionality. It is widely used in industries such as architecture, engineering, product design, machining and manufacturing to streamline the design process and bring products to market faster and more efficiently.

No prior experience is required. This training course will take you through all the required steps to understand the basics of CAD, 3D printing and 3D modelling, regardless of your level.

If required, we will even help you install and set up Fusion.

This training will take you through all of the steps required to model a complex part in Fusion.

1. Get familiar with the interface: Start by opening Fusion and exploring the interface. Familiarize yourself with the different workspaces, menus, and icons.

2. Learn basic sketching: Sketching is the foundation of 3D modelling. We will go through how to create sketches using lines, arcs, circles, and rectangles. We will also cover sketching constraints.

3. Practice creating 3D models: Once you are comfortable sketching, we will practice creating 3D models using basic tools such as Extrude, Revolve, and Loft.

4. Understand assemblies: Assemblies allow you to combine multiple parts into a single design. We will learn how to create assemblies, insert components, and add constraints.

5. Advanced Modelling: We will cover some more advanced modelling tools such as Mirror, Pattern & Combine

6. We will explore Rendering, Simulations, Generative Design, Technical Drawings and Manufacture. Whilst we cannot cover all of these topics in one day, our instructor will give you a demonstration of each. You can always book a day of training specifically for those aspects of Fusion.

We understand that learning something new is not a one-and-done affair. One day of online training can give you the basic information, but often the questions and understanding come from putting the training into practice.

That is why all full-day training courses come with our 6-month Support Guarantee.

This service is part of your training package and means that we will provide unlimited support for the six months after your training to answer questions and help ensure that your training can be put to good use.
