What is the course about?
This course will teach you Autodesk Fusion, a powerful 3D manufacturing and engineering software widely used by Industrial Designers, and is a great tool for designing, testing, and fabricating 3D parts—making it particularly useful in prototyping workflows. It’s classified as a parametric CAD modelling program, and it belongs to the same category as
SolidWorks, Inventor, CATIA, and other professional-grade tools.
Fusion is used for designing, testing, and fabricating 3D parts—making it particularly useful in prototyping workflows. It supports both parametric and direct modelling, allowing you to apply dimensions and update
the design later—automatically adjusting related features based on your parameters. In direct modelling mode, Fusion doesn’t record feature history, allowing you to simply push and pull geometry as needed.

Fusion is a powerful computer-aided design, manufacturing, and engineering tool from Autodesk. This lesson will explain what you might commonly use it for.
This lesson will explain how to get access to Autodesk Fusion and install it on your PC or Mac.
Mastering where the tools are and how they work is critical to producing amazing design sin Fusion. This lesson will explore the Fusion interface in detail, and explain how to access different tools and how they work.
Modelling hierarchy in Fusion is setup in a unique way, and it’s important to understand how this works to get the most out of the software. This lesson will clearly explain how components, bodies and assemblies work, and best practices for using them when modelling in Fusion.
Every design starts with a sketch, and in Fusion sketches form the basis for any 3D geometry you create. This lesson will explore the fundamentals of sketching in Fusion.
There are multiple ways to create the same geometry in Fusion. Some methods are more efficient, taking fewer steps, or offer better adaptability for future changes. This lesson will explore a variety of different modelling techniques to demonstrate the best ways to create in Fusion.
It’s common in Fusion to encounter yellow warnings and red errors while modifying a model. These can be edited or deleted directly, but there are more strategic approaches to fixing them effectively. This lesson will explore a few techniques to effectively solve issues in your timeline.
