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

- 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.
