Take your Autodesk Fusion skills to the next level with this self-paced, project-based course focused on real-world product design. You’ll work through a complete design challenge by creating a custom trim tool kit for auto mechanics, building advanced skills in surfacing, plastics tools, and multi-part assemblies. Along the way, you’ll apply professional workflows that mirror real manufacturing and product design scenarios.
By the end of the course, you’ll have a portfolio-ready project that demonstrates your ability to design ergonomic, user-focused products with manufacturability in mind. You’ll gain experience creating and managing assemblies, technical drawings, and production-ready designs while mastering advanced Fusion tools used for complex, professional-grade models.
By completing this course, you will have developed expertise in:
Master the fundamentals of Fusion, including parametric modeling, assemblies, and design workflows
Develop advanced skills in surfacing, plastics tools, and multi-body modeling for complex designs
Create and manage professional-grade assemblies and technical drawings for manufacturing
Apply simulation tools to test designs under real-world conditions and optimize performance
