This course will cover :

• What is parametric modeling and when is it useful?
• Embedding design-intent into your 3d model construction.
• How to set up a Fusion 360 project: Planes, Sketches, Bodies, Components, Assemblies.
• Example workflows for getting your parts CNC routed, 3D printed, and laser cut.

Come with Fusion 360 downloaded on your computer. A 3 button mouse is highly recommended for easy navigation.

1. You will need to create an Autodesk account to use Fusion 360

2. If you have an NYU ID, I recommend getting the free educational version which is full featured. You will need to create an educational Autodesk account first. The verification process requires you to upload a picture of your ID.

3. Alternatively get the free non-commercial version, or the 30 day free trial.
