If you’ve ever wanted to learn how to use CAD (Computer Aided Design) but haven’t quite done it, this class is for you!
We will explore Autodesk’s Fusion 360, an all-in-one CAD program with a free enthusiast license. Come with no experience and walk away with enough exposure to make things for 3d printing or laser cutting.
Doors open at or before 6:30pm, class starts promptly at 7pm.
Also, if you have something you want to show (such as a cool project you made) please let me know ahead of time and we’ll work on how to work it into the night.
You are welcome to come with a laptop with Fusion 360 installed, pen and paper, both, or nothing. I won’t be walking through how to install Fusion the day-of, so if you intend to follow along please make sure it is installed and you’ve signed up with an account before class.
So far it looks like we’ve got some great demos lined up in addition to the main training.
@iMakeRobots has graciously agreed to show off one of his assemblies for one of his robots, and @eapenmathew will show off his process for turning a rough direct model from a different CAD program into a Fusion360 model for use in 3d printing.
A lot of focus on the responses from the class have been that we should have more of these, but also a class that is more step-by-step (which would require a smaller class size).
I’ll be figuring out a date soon. Since the class size will be limited, I’ll use eventbrite for registration with a nominal fee.
I’m pretty sure I shouldn’t be profiting from the class, so if I charge anything, all the fees will be given to the hackspace.
