Well Ladies and Gentlemen, it\u2019s coming to that time of year again where we party our butts off and keep partying. No not the holiday season psssssh. I\u2019m talking about Autodesk University!<\/div>\n
\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Autodesk<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Yes it\u2019s back again, bigger, better, and more awesome than ever, crammed full of classes, workshops, talks from industry leaders, and my personal favorite part: product announcements. Oh those sweet sweet product announcements, how they get me hyped up for my future workflows, but I digress.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For those of you not familiar with Autodesk University, worry not! That\u2019s what this post is for! Autodesk University is an annual conference held in multiple locations around the world, with the US edition being the keystone of them all. covering classes, talks, workshops, and idea exchanges for every single product Autodesk makes. So if you\u2019re a Fusion 360 user that\u2019s also interested in other Autodesk products, Autodesk University is your one stop shop to learn and try out every single one of them! Of course, beyond this, all your favorite Autodesker\u2019s will be in attendance, and Cardboard Keqing might be making another appearance too (though you\u2019ll have to find him on the exhibition floor this time!)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Of course, like every AU and Fusion 360 Academy, we\u2019ll be running a design slam! Always worth checking out, and if you\u2019re attending AU and want to take part in the slam, we want to hear from you! Just sound off in the comments below!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
\"Autodesk<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
For those of you who are attending, or are thinking about attending, we\u2019ve compiled a few of the classes we think are unmissable and essential for you, with convenient categorizations too!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Generative Design<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Generative<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We heard you, you want more classes and tutorials on Generative Design, well this year we\u2019ve got you covered!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

First off, we\u2019ve got a great round table discussion being held by Generative Design Product Manager Michael Smell, and Machine Learning Research Manager Morgan Fabian! These two powerhouses will be taking you through what we\u2019ve done with generative design so far, and what the future holds. It\u2019s also an opportunity for you to give your input to us on what you want too see generative design doing in the future! \u00a0Machine Learning in Fusion 360: See What\u2019s Here, What\u2019s Coming, and What\u2019s Next<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

T-splines, 3 Ways<\/a> – Paul Sohi is coming in hot this year with his primer class for understanding T-splines, an essential part of the generative design workflow, T-Splines enable you to edit and manipulate generative design results. While Paul won\u2019t be going over generative design set ups, he will be showing you how to post-process a part you\u2019ve downloaded!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

From England, Andy Harris, one of Autodesk\u2019s industry futures specialists, will be running a class on how to maximize the benefits of generative design. Andy is one of the people instrumental in making generative design a thing, so this class shouldn\u2019t be missed!\u00a0 Maximizing the Benefits of Generative Design<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Not much explanation needed for this one: want to learn how to maximize GD for manufacturing? Check out Adam James and Mason Myers class! Leveraging Generative Design technology to enhance product design for manufacturing<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You might have seen that type 20 bus Autodesk worked on with VW, well, we\u2019re talking through that whole journey at AU if you\u2019d like to learn more!\u00a0 Volkswagen\u2019s type 20 Generative Design Journey<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

More of a designer than an engineer? Yeah, we got that covered too.\u00a0 Generative Design Boot Camp for Product Design and Manufacturing<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3D Printing<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"3D<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Over at the Idea Exchange booth, Ryan Hays will be on site looking to speak to you about 3D printing with Fusion 360, and running a 3D printing center activity! Don\u2019t miss that one!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Selling your ideas is as critical as designing and engineering them! Perry Kaye, CEO of Perry Terri toys takes you through how to maximize 3D printing for exactly this!\u00a0 Selling Your Ideas Using Prototypes<\/a><\/p>\n

Are you new to CAM? Looking to expand your skill set, or just need a refresher? Kevin Lee has you covered with his CAM Fundamentals class!\u00a0 Fusion 360\u2014CAM Fundamental Workflows<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Too often we focus just on toolpathing when it comes to CAM, but there\u2019s so much more we can do! Check out Kevin Ellingson\u2019s class, Beyond the Chips to see how much deeper than toolpathing Fusion 360 CAM can be! Beyond the Chips<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You know him, I know him, we all love him. John Saunders is coming in hot with a class all about how to grow into a 5 axis machine! Growing into a 5-Axis CNC Machine<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sometimes you gotta go big. Sometimes you need to do something really complex, and sometimes, you just wanna flex. Spender Hardcastle is going to show you all the ways Fusion 360 and Powermill can work together! I Got You Babe: When Fusion 360 and PowerMill Come Together<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

API<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

WAIT. I SEE YOU SCROLLING PAST THIS SECTION.<\/strong> I get it, API and coding can be scary, you\u2019ve probably dismissed it as \u201cnot for me\u201d or \u201ctoo hard.\u201d I promise you, it\u2019s really not as scary and as hard as it seems! The API in fusion 360 is a hugely powerful tool that allows you to write your own scripts, and even make your own tools!! This is hugely helpful for a whole modicum of reasons, and heck, I\u2019ll be there learning too! Patrick Rainsberry is going to take us through how to get started, and show you just how easy it is! Automating Fusion 360 with the API<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

VR<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

We\u2019re really interested in what prospects VR presents for the future of modeling, you can hear all about what we\u2019ve got cooking with project sugar hill straight from Colin Smith, it\u2019s product manager!<\/p>\n

Conceptual Modeling in Virtual Reality with Project Sugarhill<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Reality Capture<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Everyone knows that reality capture and reverse engineering workflows are a hassle. At least, that\u2019s what everyone believes, but Phil Eichmiller is here to show you how easy it can be! Reverse Engineering with Imported Data in Fusion 360<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Design and Complex Geometry<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Compound curves. I bet a few of you just shuddered reading that, but they don\u2019t have to be scary! In this class Mark Chester will take you through how to design footwear and learn how to handle complex geometries in Fusion 360! Getting the Right Fit\u2014Designing Footwear in Fusion 360<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Rendering<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Alex Lobos is the unofficial king of Fusion 360, and he\u2019s going to show you how he does all those tasty renders in Fusion 360!\u00a0 Advanced Rendering in Fusion 360: Photorealistic Visual Storytelling<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Data Management<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"teamwork<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Last on our list, but genuinely one of the most demanding and important parts of any project. Managing the people working with you, and the datasets they\u2019re working on can be a demanding task, but mercifully Ryan Johnson has got your covered! Fusion 360 Team Hubs Explained<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

And that\u2019s it! This is just a quick roundup of classes that will be at AU on Fusion 360 but there are\u00a0many many more.\u00a0We strongly recommend you check out all the classes available over at\u00a0au.autodesk.com.<\/a><\/p>\n
