The complete beginners guide to Fusion 360

In this section, you will look into the fundamentals of basic sketching techniques in Fusion 360, building a strong foundation for creating precise and essential 2D sketches as a precursor to 3D modeling.

In this section, you will learn how to apply sketch dimensions and constraints effectively within Fusion 360, ensuring your sketches are accurate, controlled, and ready for the next steps in the modeling process.

In this section, you'll explore the sketch pattern tools in Fusion 360, allowing you to efficiently replicate and manipulate your sketches for creating intricate and repeating design elements.

In this section, you'll learn the foundational skills required to create your initial sketch in Fusion 360. You'll gain proficiency in using dimensions, equations, and constraints to produce accurate and controlled 2D sketches, laying the groundwork for your subsequent 3D modeling projects.

This section covers the Extrude command in Fusion 360, teaching you how to add depth and volume to your 2D sketches, transforming them into 3D objects.

In this section, you will use the Press Pull command, enabling you to manipulate 3D objects by pushing or pulling faces and edges, allowing for precise model adjustments.

In this section, you will work with the Revolve command, mastering the technique to create symmetrical 3D shapes by rotating 2D sketches around an axis.

This section focuses on the Hole Command in Fusion 360, teaching you how to create precise holes and threads in your 3D models, essential for various design and engineering applications.

In this section, you'll explore the Sweep Command. This allows you to create complex 3D shapes by sweeping a 2D sketch along a path.

In this section, you'll learn how to use the Loft Command to create complex 3D shapes by connecting and blending different 2D profiles.

In this practice exercise, you will be designing a block with holes and threads, we will go through a step by step process, after this practice exercise you should have a firm understanding of the rectangular pattern tool as well as being able to work with threads and evaluate your design in a section view.

In this lecture, you'll learn how to design a 3D paperclip using Fusion 360's powerful tools, including the Sweep tool and other essential features. We'll walk you through the step-by-step process, providing you with the skills and knowledge to craft intricate 3D models like a pro.

In this practice exercise, you will be designing a mug with a handle. The focus of this exercise is to introduce a practical use for the revolve tool. We will combine this with other tools to get the design we are looking for.

In this lecture you incorporate the use of a canvas as well as specified dimensions to create a teaspoon. This exercise will give you a better understanding of some of the operations you can do with the loft command as well as introducing the shell command.

This exercise will again make use of a canvas and specific dimensions but you will have the freedom to adjust the design how you see fit in order to achieve a model with a unique shape. You will get to practice various commands including using the sweep command to add an edge to our chefs' knife.

In this lecture we will be modelling a threaded bolt off of a technical drawing. once complete you should be proficient in the thread tool as well as having some practice with revolve tool and various sketching tools we have not yet covered.

In this exercise we will design a simple bracket with holes in it using a technical drawing. We will also introduce the rib feature.

In engineering there is often a need for custom parts such as pipes. In this exercise you will design a custom elbow joint with flanges that could be used in various applications. You will also get a look at a new way to use the mirror tool and how useful it can be when designing symmetrical models

Here we will be taking a look at how to design a mounting for a castor wheel. With the aid of a technical drawing we will input specific measurements to achieve an exact copy of what was presented in the technical drawing. We will explore another option you have when doing threads as well

In this exercise we will be going through how to design a full scale wardrobe, step by step. This is something that would enable you to visualise a wardrobe in terms of size and scale if it were to be built. with the wardrobe being designed to scale you will be able to draw up a cutting list from the design.
