There are many considerations that play a part in engineering a new product. Regardless of what that product is, there are fundamentals such as form, fit, and function when it comes to digital modeling. In this course, we lay the foundation to create any design and dive deep into topics about the control of the design. From assembly joints and joint limits to complex shapes using forms, rest assured that your design will be rock solid.

There are 4 modules in this course
In Week 1, we’ll cover the control and creation of sketches, construction geometry, and conversion into solid bodies. Understanding how to define and reuse sketch elements is a critical step in defining geometry that can be easily updated later to accommodate design changes.

In Week 2, we’ll talk about the creation, organization, and management of assemblies and components in Fusion 360. Replicate contacts and motion through the application of joints, motion links, and contacts and understand how best to begin a design for reuse while exploring the integration of off-the-shelf components and assembly management.

In Week 4, we’ll cover form tools as an option when creating complex designs. Form tools allow for a different design approach than the traditional sketch and feature creation by allowing you to explore shapes while pushing and pulling vertices, faces, and edges. Explore the basics of form creation and manipulation as well as advanced control and creation of designs with forms.
