Workshop: Introduction to 3D CAD (with Fusion 360)

Fusion 360 is a computer-assisted design software package. It is parametric, which means that you can always go back and change parameters and the entire design will update to match.

Typical workflow:

1. Create a sketch
2. Extrude the sketch
3. Modify body
4. Export

Creating a sketch

1. Select a surface to sketch on (plane or face of object)
2. Draw components (lines, circles, et al)
3. Specify dimensions
4. Apply constraints
5. Finish sketch

Extruding a sketch

1. Select sketch
2. Select parameters
3. Finish

Modifying bodies

1. Fillets/chamfers
2. Combining bodies

Exporting

1. Select object
2. Select destination
3. Export
