Welcome to Introduction to 3D Modeling. Learning 3D modeling is a critical and essential skillset for any product designer, engineer, or machinist. Being able to use Fusion 360 CAD will help you take an excellent idea from a concept, through to a working 3D CAD model for manufacture, testing, and production. Follow along as we learn the basics of modeling and detailed drawing.

After completing this course, you'll be able to:

  • Understand the parametric CAD workflow.
  • Identify interface aspects of Fusion 360.
  • Create designs with mechanical motion.
  • Manipulate appearances and physical materials.
  • Create a detailed drawing.
