Introduction  to  3D  Modeling  The  main  aim  of  this  course  is  to  help  ease  the  learning  transition  from  2D  design  to  3D  modeling.  3D  modeling  using  CAD  is  a  superb  additional  skillset  for  any  product  designer,  engineer,  or  machinist  and  being  able  to  use  Fusion  360  CAD/CAM  will  enable  you  to  take  an  excellent  idea  from  a  concept,  through  to  a  working  3D  CAD  model  for  manufacture,  testing  and  production.    Fusion  360  and  Autodesk  Design  Academy  provide  extensive  learning  resources  which  make  it  incredibly  easy  to  use  CAD  and  learn  how  to  3D  Model.  Furthermore,  Fusion  360  is  free  to  students  and  educators,  works  on  both  Apple  and  PC  operating  systems,  on  multiple  devices  and  platforms.    If  you  are  looking  to  make  the  transition  from  2D  to  3D  modeling  -­‐  this  course  has  been  developed  to  guide  you  through  the  process  and  have  you  up  and  running,  developing  design  for  professional  3D  models  after  a  few  short  lessons.

Lesson  3.  Overview  of  types  of  Modeling  and  workspaces  in  Fusion  360    

   With  Fusion  360,  you  can  3D  Model  in  a  number  of  ways.  The  following  are  an  overview  of  four  types  of  3D  modeling  which  you  might  wish  to  explore  in  Fusion  360.  We  recommend  that  you  review  the  overview  videos  and  decide  which  type  of  modeling  you’d  like  to  learn  first.  We’ve  included  a  Lesson  for  each.    Watch  this  video  for  an  overview  of  Parametric  Solid  Modeling  in  Fusion  360.    After  completing  this  lesson,  you  will  be  able  to:  

• Identify  modeling  Workspaces  and  Environments  in  Fusion  360.    • Understand  how  Fusion  360  workspaces,  environments  and  tools  can  be  used  to  create  

professional  3D  models.

Overview  of  Parametric  Modeling  in  Fusion  360  

Using  Fusion’s  Parametric  modeling  tools,  you  are  able  to  do  such  things  as  import  photographs  of  your  favorite  shapes,  forms  and  designs,  then  use  them  as  reference  for  your  design.  You  can  also  import  your  2D  CAD  work  from  multiple  sources  and  set  precise  parameters  and  model  dimensions  with  specific  values  as  well  as  relational  functions.  Additionally,  with  Fusion’s  parametric  tools,  you  are  able  to  make  changes  to  the  parameters  and  the  model  will  update,  keeping  the  features  previously  created  intact.    

   

Overview  of  Freeform  Modeling  and  Sculpting  in  Fusion  360  

Freeform  Modeling  and  Sculpting  in  Fusion  means  that  not  only  you  can  import  your  analogue  sketches  and  use  them  as  reference  for  your  design  –  you  can  also  create  smooth  and  precise  surfaces  with  ‘T-­‐Splines’  technology  or  with  sketch  curves,  patches,  and  extrusions.  It’s  easy  to  obtain  the  exact  amount  of  curvature  you  want  in  your  models  by  intuitively  sculpting  and  editing  the  form’s  face,  edges,  and  vertices.

Overview  of  Direct  Modeling  in  Fusion  360  

Fusion  enables  you  to  rapidly  edit  models  within  the  same  design,  create  base  features  to  make  conceptual  models  and  make  edits  with  and  without  tracking  history.  You  can  change  individual  features  outside  of  a  parametric  model's  history  and  timeline,  while  also  maintaining  parametric  design  history  on  all  of  your  model’s  other  features.  This  is  an  excellent  tool  and  has  multiple  uses  in  the  professional  landscape;  such  as  when  you  want  to  quickly  edit  a  model  and  make  changes  for  a  specific  type  of  manufacture,  for  example.    

   

Overview  of  Assembly  Modeling  in  Fusion  360  

Fusion’s  Assembly  environment  means  that  you  can  build  assemblies  with  bodies  and  components,  giving  you  a  combination  of  ‘top-­‐down’  and  ‘bottom-­‐up’  strategies  to  improve  your  workflows.  You  can  easily  insert  existing  components  to  reference  and  update  designs  from  other  team  members,  or  Import  ‘off  the  shelf’  product  components  and  parts  from  McMaster,  for  example.  Additionally,  with  Fusion  you  can  create  working  joints,  link  them  and  then  drive  them  to  validate  their  effectiveness  through  motion  studies.
