Build practical Autodesk Fusion skills through introductory courses in CAD, design development, engineering, and manufacturing. Explore step-by-step workflows, practice new skills, and bring them together in applied projects.
The Fusion CORE series introduces the skills and workflows used to create, develop, document, and prepare designs for production in Autodesk Fusion. Learners build skills progressively, from foundational CAD tools to design, engineering, and manufacturing workflows.
Courses combine step-by-step instruction with practice exercises and challenges. A final project brings skills together and can serve as a capstone experience.
Educators can assign modules individually or group them into playlists to complement instruction and adapt Fusion learning to their curriculum. Exercises and challenges offer ready-to-use practice, while course projects can support larger assignments or capstones.
A Formula SAE wheel project provides a shared, hands-on example across the series. Learners use it to practice Fusion workflows and develop skills that apply to other projects
Get started in the Fusion workspace and build a foundation in CAD. Create sketches, apply dimensions and constraints, build parametric features, and organize designs and assemblies. Educators can select individual modules to introduce or reinforce specific skills.
Explore and refine geometry using freeform, surface, and solid modeling tools. Consider how form, function, requirements, and downstream needs can influence modeling choices, then use appearances and rendering to communicate a design. Practice and challenge activities can reinforce these workflows, and the course project can bring them together.
Develop parametric designs and assemblies, apply materials, review mass properties, examine simulation results, and create detailed drawings. Modules can support focused instruction in individual workflows, with the final project offering a way to apply them together.
Connect design work to production workflows. Explore manufacturing setup, process planning, and toolpath decisions as you prepare designs for machining and production. Educators can select relevant modules to complement existing CAD or manufacturing instruction.
