Hi, my name is Ethan.
And welcome to my product design course.
This is your guide to learning the fundamentals of hands down one of the best computer aided design
softwares.
Autodesk Fusion 360.
This course will give you a comprehensive tutorial on how to design and Fusion 360 a step by step guide
on designing a product from scratch and helpful tips to continue expanding your knowledge and skillset.
This course is designed for enthusiasts in the creative field, as well as individuals who are intrigued
by the concept of computer aided design.
It does not matter whether this is the first time you are hearing about the software or have already
started playing around with it.
This course has something for each one of you.
This course will offer you a detailed step by step tutorial for all the technical skills you need to
get started with product design using Fusion 360.
The course is divided into nine monuments, each covering a specific skill set.
The sections are arranged in a way by learning one set of skills will allow you to better understand
the next one.
All the videos in this course are follow along where I will be showing you how to perform each task.
You can watch the videos anytime and therefore learn at your own pace at the beginning of each video.
I want you to take steps that will allow you to navigate to the sections most relevant to you.
Or skip the ones that you may already know.
At the end of each section, you will be faced with one or more challenges that could test what you
have learned.
Don't worry.
The solutions to those challenges have been provided.
These challenges are effective and they will help you learn better and would allow you to measure your
progress.
At the beginning, you will also get a rundown of the entire software navigation so that you can change
the settings according to your preferences.
Most Fusion 360 courses only teach you the technical skills to create 3D objects.
OK, that's great.
But what next?
These courses lead to most students not knowing how to direct their knowledge and skillset into creating
useful products.
This course, however, shows you how to take your idea, convert it into a product design, intrusions
V60, and even prepare for manufacturing.
This is a project based course, once you have learned all the skills you need to make products, you
can work on a follow along project where we will get an idea, sketched out, design it on Fusion 360
and prepared for production.
There are a few prerequisites for this course that you will need in order to complete it, you will
firstly need a licensed version of the Autodesk Fusion 360 software.
While this is a paid software, you can download a free copy if you're a student or get a significant
discount if you're part of the startup.
Fusion 360 is compatible with both Mac and PC, and the interface is also the same on both operating
systems.
A stable internet connection is recommended as Fusion's views across all its files on the cloud.
And you really don't want to lose your work halfway to.
Not necessary, but recommended is an iPad, a graphic tablet or even paper and pencil sketching?
If you're using an iPad or a graphic tablet, you will need a sketching software.
My personal recommendation is Autodesk Sketchbook.
All of these prerequisites will be listed in the document that follows this video, including any links
to download software.
Before you begin this course, I would like to tell you a little about myself.
I'm currently an IP design and technology student at my College Malaysia and have been working on Fusion
360 for over three years now.
Over these years, I have learned based techniques and skills that allow me to create product designs
on Fusion 360.
I have also completed a course on design for manufacturing by Autodesk in Singapore.
I now want to share my learnings and skills with all other budding designers out there.
Here are the links to my website and Instagram page.
So feel free to check out my work there.
If you have any questions throughout this course, you can contact me via email.
And we can even schedule a virtual meet to discuss your issues.
The last document in this section includes a brief description about me, my design and occasion, the
links to my work and my contact details.
Finally, I would like to thank you for signing up for this course.
It really means a lot.
I would see you in the next section.
You begin this exciting journey of product design on Fusion 360.
See you there!
