Introduction to Autodesk Fusion
Details
This is intended as a 101-style class for Computer-Aided Design, using Autodesk Fusion. Autodesk Fusion is a standalone CAD suite that can be installed on Windows and MacOS (there appears to be no Linux support). No knowledge of CAD is required, but general experience using a computer and the internet is very helpful.
For this class, we'll learn the following:
- Navigating Fusion's User Interface
- Navigating the 3D space
- Creating sketches
- Creating solids from a sketch
- Export your designs for 3D printing or laser cutting
Prior to the workshop, please create an account with Autodesk at https://accounts.autodesk.com/register
The process for getting the Hobbyist License for Fusion roughly follows this:
- https://www.autodesk.com/products/fusion-360/personal -> Get Autodesk Fusion for personal use
- Give them your email address
- Give some more information
- Eventually you'll be able to download
