3D Modeling for 3D Printing and Laser Cutting on Fusion 360

3D modeling is the process of developing a mathematical coordinate-based representation of any surface of an object (inanimate or living) in three dimensions through specialized software by manipulating edges, vertices, and polygons in a simulated 3D space.

In this course, you will learn to design and model for 3D printing and laser cutting using the free and powerful Autodesk Fusion 360 software. The course is divided into four sections. In the first section, you will understand the fundamentals of 3D modeling through easy examples. In the second section, you will begin modeling for 3D printing, where designs that we model can be 3D-printed. In the third section, we will look at design for laser cutting and the interesting constraints you have to deal with when doing so. In the fourth section, you will learn to model parametrically. A very powerful method of 3D modeling, which will make you an incredibly efficient and effective 3D modeler.

Upon completion, you will have enough experience and confidence to independently create your own 3D designs using the Fusion 360 software and understand 3D modeling, 3D printing, and laser cutting techniques.
