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.

Syllabus - What you will learn from this course
5 hours to complete
The Basics of Modeling
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.

The Basics of Assemblies
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.

6 hours to complete
Creating complex designs with form tools
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.

this course made me to learn all the aspects of cad through fusion 360 due to been teached by directly an autodesk it gives breaf and detil info about this soft wear
by OGFeb 19, 2022
very nice as in starting i have no understanding of fusion 360 by by the end about 70-80% i have learned product design,rendering design,
About the Autodesk CAD/CAM/CAE for Mechanical Engineering Specialization
The demand placed on today’s engineers goes above and beyond the job description. Products have become complex and engineers are more frequently asked to leave specialized roles and to take on a wide variety of tasks that are beyond their traditional responsibilities. These tasks are centered on form, fit, and function. Engineers need to factor in broader concerns such as cost, procurement, sustainability, manufacturability, and serviceability. Their role has moved away from an individual responsibility to working as part of a collaborative engineering team, executing tradeoffs with both engineering and business stakeholders to meet project goals. These trends have forced today’s engineers to broaden their skillset to be successful.
