Master basic Fusion 360 modeling by creating a 50 by 50 by 25 box, adding a cylinder and a sphere, and using work planes and the timeline to edit features.

Explore sketch-based modeling in Fusion 360, create sketches on planes, use rectangles and lines, and extrude to form 3D features, with editing via sketch and feature trees.

Learn to sketch and extrude in Fusion 360, building complex shaft-like parts with circles and rectangles, applying dimensions, and editing the history to update features.

Explore Fusion 360's extrusion dialog, choosing extrusion type, selecting profiles, setting start offsets and directions, and using one- or two-sided and symmetric options, with taper and new body operations.

Explore how to create complex, circular forms fast by using the Revolve command in Fusion 360, turning sketches around an axis to produce vases, gates, or decorative posts.

Explore Fusion 360's loft command to create flowing shapes by lofting between multiple sketch profiles and offset planes for precise transitions.

Use the sweep command in Fusion 360 to sweep a circular profile along a centerline path to create handrails or pipe segments, adjusting profile size, path, distance, and twist.

Master sketching in Fusion 360 by learning how to fully constrain 2D sketches on planes, use origin planes for symmetric designs, and build solid base geometry for reliable modeling.

Master sketching fundamentals in Fusion 360 by using construction lines and constraints—parallel, perpendicular, horizontal, and vertical—then add dimensions to fully lock a 250 by 250 rectangle around the origin.

Learn to sketch random shapes in Fusion 360 using constraints including vertical, horizontal, perpendicular, parallel, and collinear to create a fully constrained, blue, closed object.

Explore how to apply sketch constraints in Fusion 360, including coincident, tangent, equal, parallel, perpendicular, midpoint and concentric constraints, plus trim, extend, and construction lines to create precise, symmetric sketches.

Apply constraints to create a fully constrained sketch and extrude it into a solid, then edit sketch to update extrusion; explore splines, mirror, polygons, circles, ellipses, slots, and sketch text.

Master fully constrained sketches in Fusion 360 by building circular and rectangular patterns using center points, midpoints, and symmetry to ensure precise, edit-friendly designs.

Learn to create and refine parts in Fusion 360 by sketching and extruding shapes, then apply fillets to edges with precise radii, and edit features for adjustments.

Explore setting fillets and chamfers in fusion 360, applying 45-degree edges, equal versus different radii, and editing features for flexible future changes.

Use Fusion 360's hole command to place threaded and tapped holes with adjustable diameter and depth, choosing patterns and multiple points for efficient hole arrays.

Explore rectangular, circular, and path patterns in Fusion 360, using patterning to repeat holes on a plate with controlled extent, distance, and direction while keeping edits simple.

Learn to create and edit patterns in Fusion 360, including circular patterns and pattern on a path, using sketches, projecting geometry, and spacing to place multiple features.

Create a brake disc model in Fusion 360 using sketch, extrude, and offset techniques; add a hollow hub, holes, and a circular bolt pattern for a realistic, printable part.

Explore the press-pull tool in Fusion 360, learn how to drag faces to edit geometry, and understand why editing the original extrusion with design history is preferred.

Learn to hollow out objects with the shell command by selecting a face and setting an inside thickness of five millimeters.

Learn to apply draft, scale, and offset face tools in Fusion 360, including selecting faces, setting a base point, and using design history to edit features.

Discover replace face and split face and split body in Fusion 360, moving a single face or splitting a body along a surface, with selection by face, body, or component.

Master the move and copy commands in Fusion 360 by translating, rotating, and copying bodies or faces with on-screen arrows, distance inputs, and origin-point references.

Explore boolean commands in Fusion 360, including join, cut, and intersect, to combine or subtract two bodies, create precise fits with tolerance, and model using offset planes and extruded features.

Apply materials in Fusion 360 using physical materials or appearance to make objects look and act realistically, with walnut and metal examples and guidance on when to use each.

Explore how Fusion 360 handles assemblies, components, and bodies within a single file, and distinguish assemblies from components and from bodies using bike frame examples.

Begin with a clean top-down assembly by creating new components, renaming them, and organizing your file layout so bodies become components inside the assembly.

Design a workbench in Fusion 360 by building side frame and leg components, then copy and paste, and paste new, using press pull and pine material.

Learn to assemble a leg using joints in fusion 360, snap midpoints to faces, and adjust with rotate, flip, and offsets; copy and mirror for a synchronized side frame.

Build a complete workbench in Fusion 360 by grounding the legs, creating stringers, assembling frames, and adding a mahogany tabletop and middle shelf with precise extrudes.

Build a simple vise body and a sliding vise in Fusion 360, applying constraints, dimensions, origin placement, and position capture with revert, plus drilling a centered hole.

Sketch on faces, project circles, and extrude to build components; place a rod with a through hole and add a new component for a pin using planes and offsets.

Learn to create and configure joints in Fusion 360, including slider joints, and to use as built joints and grounding for animation and assembly.

Edit this joint to enable rotation and sliding by using a cylindrical joint, and enable contact sets along with a motion link to couple the motion.
