Fusion360 - 101 Workshop

About

This 3-part introduction to Fusion360 is geared towards anyone looking to build projects using 3d computer aided drawing, and no prior CAD experience is necessary. We’ll start by walking through the Fusion360 interface and learning to create 2-D sketches. Then we will learn to create 3d solid models from 2-D sketches. Days 2 and 3 will be project-based with step-by-step instruction on creating 3D models of a keychain and of a mug. The goal of this class is to build confidence for starting your own Fusion360 projects by learning fundamentals and walking through some work-flows.
