CAD 105 - Introduction to Autodesk Fusion **

3 Credit(s)

This introductory, hands-on course teaches students the fundamental skills needed to use Autodesk Fusion for 3D modeling, assembly design, technical documentation, and 3D printing of mechanical design projects. Students will follow the essential steps of a modern Computer-Aided Drafting (CAD) workflow, starting with user interface navigation, moving through parametric sketching and part creation, and culminating in the creation of complex assemblies and professional engineering drawings. Students are eligible to sit for Autodesk Certified User (ACU) exam for Fusion.
