Design is the first phase in the digital manufacturing process. In this course, through a series of lectures and hands-on lessons, we’ll examine a designer’s approach to the design and manufacturing process—from concept to 3D model. We’ll start by applying design thinking to understand user needs, and then we’ll explore design criteria as we dive deeper into Autodesk® Fusion 360™ sketching, modeling, rendering, and documentation features.

TOP REVIEWS FROM 3D MODEL CREATION WITH AUTODESK FUSION 360
Great course! I joined this course to learn about 3D modeling on Fusion 360 but also learned the thought process involved in designing an FPV drone.
This is an amazing course. It teaches not only the 3D design but also the parameters useful for the design and way to make the best design.
I think this course is really useful after completing the previous course. Also the assessment are very useful for consolidating knowledge.
THhe over course is good. I learned how to design a drone body. But if the course could teach more about components space and the design for that it would be really helpfull.
