Topic: 2D and 3D modeling in Fusion 360

Good designers and engineers know how to explore and iterate their designs. Thankfully, computer aided design
(CAD) allows you to do just that—explore and iterate your design—until the model suits your needs. However, this
iteration process isn’t as easy as it sounds. It requires you to move quickly and seamlessly back and forth from 2D
sketching to 3D modeling—and so, that’s the primary skill we’ll be practicing in this course.

This course covers 2D and 3D workflows, through a series of short lectures and hands-on exercises. In the first part
of the course, we’ll start with 2D sketching in Autodesk® Fusion 360™, and we’ll review the various Fusion 360
workspaces, including: sketching and parametric modeling, free-form modeling and sculpting, and direct and
assembly modeling. You’ll learn the skills necessary to use CAD from the start, applying its full capabilities when
exploring and changing your designs. Then, in the second part of the course, we’ll transition from 2D to 3D modeling.
And finally, toward the end, we’ll explore and apply various 3D modeling techniques that can be used to create
models that can be easily changed and experimented on.

By the end of the course, Students will be able to

• Create cloud projects, manage, open and save models in Fusion 360.

• Create and edit 2D Sketches and 3D models using Fusion 360 parametric tools to add constraints,
dimensions, and control geometric relationships.

• Sculpt and freeform 3D models using Fusion 360 T-Splines technology and import a sketch or image to use
for reference.

• Use direct editing tools in Fusion 360 and rapidly modify the design of existing and imported 3D CAD
models.

• Use Fusion 360 assembly modeling tools and features, to create and drive working joints for parts in a
product assembly.

• Apply physical materials and assign appearances to 3D models.

• Use the Fusion 360 documentation environment to create technical drawings, parts lists, and other
documentation for 3D models.
