About

Learn advanced concepts and graduate from the Fusion Basics series with strong skills in digital design. The advanced concepts you'll learn:

  • Using 3D sketch to think outside the box.
  • Projecting a sketch to a surface.
  • Automated modeling to let Fusion fill in the blanks.
  • Mesh modeling for modifying designs you found online.
  • Joints, animations, and contact sets.
  • Design scripting (including asking ChatGPT to do it for you!).
  • Sheet metal environment for foldable builds.


Additionally, you'll get brief introductions to the plastic environment, the electronic workspace, and generative design concepts.

This course includes links to instructor notes and a collection of exercises to build your skills. The format will primarily be a lecture with a bit of time near the end of each session for hands-on practice and questions.

Details

  • Bring a laptop with Fusion already loaded. This is critical as no computers are provided, and the program does not work well with a trackpad. There will not be time during class to download the program.
  • You can download a free trial directly from Fusion. Click "Get started" under the column "Fusion for Personal Use." It will walk you through the process including creating an account and a confirmation email.
