Basics of Fusion Training

Prepare to build a strong foundation in 3D modeling and design using Autodesk Fusion (formerly Fusion 360) with this Fusion course for beginners. Your course covers the essential tools and workflows needed to create parametric models, assemblies, and technical drawings, preparing you for more advanced design challenges. Whether you are a student, hobbyist, or professional, this course will set you on the path to mastering Fusion and achieving your design goals.

You will practice applying precise dimensions, using parametric design history, and managing linked components to support efficient iteration. This Fusion training also covers advanced topics such as surfacing, plastics modeling, and the development of functional, multi-part products. By the end of your course, you will be able to generate manufacturing-ready drawings (like professional 2D drawing packages), create durable components for real-world use, and produce clear visual renderings and animations that communicate design intent via your 3D models.

This course is designed to be self-paced and does not involve any live classes. Instead, students will have access to various self-learning resources, including video materials, practice projects, e-books, and other materials available within the course modules. Although there is no direct interaction with an instructor, students can seek help from an industry expert by submitting questions via email.
