Beginner's Guide to Fusion 360: Learn 3D Design the Easy Way

Looking to learn the basics of Fusion 360 in under 2 hours? Always struggled with 3D CAD and want an easy-to-follow course to work through in your own time? This course is for you.

With quick easy-to-follow videos, you will be 3D modelling in no time. The total video content is 1 hr 30 minutes and is broken down into small tutorials. Within 2 hours you will be able to create 3D models and be able to model many of the 3D shapes listed below.

This course is delivered by Phil Cotton, Autodesk teacher instructor, and learnbylayers founder which provides CAD and 3D printing curriculum resources for schools around the world. Phil teaches you how to sketch basic shapes to convert into 3D and how to edit sketches and shapes to build your key knowledge. By the end of the course, you will have learnt the key skills of 3D modelling to then create more challenging designs to 3D print.

All the tutorials are easy to follow and under 5 minutes long, allowing you to create models quickly and with ease. The tutorials are split into easy to follow skill-based videos, allowing you to learn in small episodes. By the end of the course you will be confidently modelling a range of different items ready for 3D printing including;

• Basic shapes with filleted edges

• Nuts and bolts

• Fidget spinners

• Spinning tops

• Lampshades

• Embossing rings for jewellery

• Modelling an iphone case from scratch

Further skills included in the course are;
