3D Design using Fusion 360

In this introductory course, you will learn the fundamentals of the Solid and Surface sections of Fusion 360. After each section you will create a design and discuss the methodology for better design using the Fusion 360. Our goal is to familiarize you with the basic features, tools and workflow of the software so you'll have a solid foundation to work from to create your own designs.
