01What is Fusion 360
What is Fusion 360? In plain words.
Fusion 360 (now called Autodesk Fusion) is a cloud-connected 3D design tool from Autodesk. In one program you can sketch, build solid parts, shape organic forms with freeform (T-spline) modeling, create surfaces, assemble parts with joints, render realistic images, design sheet metal and produce 2D drawings. Files are stored in the cloud, so team members can view, comment on and share designs easily.
Fusion 360 is popular with product design studios, start-ups, makers, 3D printing services, small manufacturers and robotics teams because it combines many tasks in one affordable package. Students use it for projects, prototypes and competitions such as student vehicle and robotics events. Knowing it well helps you turn an idea into a manufacturable model and a clear presentation quickly.
With many engineering colleges around Vellore and Katpadi, Fusion 360 is a practical tool for student projects, prototypes and competitions. It also suits small manufacturers and start-ups in the Vellore–Ranipet area and design roles in Chennai and Bengaluru.
What you will be able to do
- Navigate the Fusion 360 interface, manage cloud files and collaborate
- Create constrained sketches with lines, arcs, splines, slots, patterns and projections
- Model 3D components with extrude, revolve, sweep, loft, rib, web and emboss
- Modify parts with holes, fillets, chamfers, drafts, shells, threads and patterns
- Assemble components using joints, as-built joints, rigid groups, contact sets and motion links
- Shape freeform bodies and create and edit surfaces
- Render designs with appearances, scene settings and decals
- Design sheet metal parts and produce drawings with views, dimensions, tables and balloons
02Why learn it
Why learn Fusion 360 now?
Six reasons students and professionals in Vellore district pick this skill.
Great for product ideas
Freeform modeling lets you shape handles, bottles and consumer products that are hard to model with plain features.
Cloud collaboration
Designs are saved online and can be shared for review with teammates or clients.
Ready for 3D printing
Clean solid models can be exported for printing and prototyping.
Friendly for beginners
The interface is simple to learn, making it a good first 3D CAD tool.
Show your work well
In-canvas rendering and decals help you present designs in portfolios and interviews.
03Who can learn
Who can join this course?
Mechanical and Mechatronics students
