Description

How can digital design turn your ideas into real-world objects?

Step into the world of computer-aided design as you explore the creative and technical capabilities of Fusion 360. In this hands-on program, students transform ideas into digital models while developing skills in sketching, projection, extrusion, lofting, and revolving. Whether creating functional products or decorative designs, students build confidence in using industry-standard tools to develop practical solutions.

Using the design thinking process, students create, test, and refine their models while exploring the relationship between form, function, and manufacturability. The program can be tailored to suit beginner, intermediate, or advanced learners, allowing students to progress from foundational modelling skills through to more complex design challenges and engineering applications.

By combining creativity, digital technologies, and engineering design, students gain experience with real-world design workflows used across product design, engineering, manufacturing, and architecture.

Booking Note: Please indicate student experience level (Beginner, Intermediate, or Advanced Fusion 360 user) when booking to ensure activities are tailored to your cohort.
