Fusion 360 is cloud-based 3D CAD, CAM, CAE and PCB software. You can use all these features through a single interface. At the end of the course, you can model the concept ideas of your dreams by working quickly and flexibly with the easy-to-use 3D CAD CAM CAE software Fusion 360 and finalize these models using "Generative Design" technology. Generative Design technology will shape your designs according to the production methodology you want. At the end of this process, you will witness that your final model will reduce the weight, while the strength will increase compared to the past and its performance will improve. Thanks to Fusion 360, which contains more than one module in a single interface, you will be able to perform many operations with a single software.
What is Generative Design?
Generative Design is a design discovery process. designer or engineer; Input the design goals with the help of parameters such as performance, material, cost and manufacturing method. Using the power of the cloud, the software calculates all possible possibilities of the solution and generates design alternatives. It tests the result at each iteration, learning what works and what doesn't.
Productive design users can solve complex engineering problems with this technology, such as:
Assembling parts by reducing the total number of parts and components;
Reducing the weight of parts and components by using the least amount of material to make the parts as effective as possible;
Increasing performance by designing stronger parts and components.
Examine cloud-generated design results based on visual analogies, drawings, and filters powered by machine learning
You can continue your other work while the Generative Design solution is implemented on the cloud.
