Series 200 Classes – CAD Modeling using Autodesk Fusion 360
CAD201 Autodesk Fusion 360 Basics
Learn how to navigate, sketch, solid model, sculpt, assemble and render realistic images in Autodesk Fusion 360. Students will leave with an understanding of direct modeling, dimension sketches, T-spline bodies, functional design and final product rendering. There is a lot to learn in Fusion 360, so this Introductory course is intended to serve as a “jumping off” point to get started and help with all aspects of Fusion360.

CAD207 Autodesk Fusion 360 - CAM and Toolpaths
Take your projects to the next level using top of the line CNC machines! Learn to prepare your 3D designs created in Fusion 360 to be cut on the Laguna CNC Router or Haas CNC Mill. Using the CAM (computer aided machining) interface, setting up directories, selecting your axes and tool paths, calculating feeds and speeds, running a simulation, and exporting into G code for the CNC Mill or Router will be covered. Bring your own file or design to class for real time calculations with the instructor, or simply gain practice and knowledge with a provided sample project.
