Instead of an intense few days, this one is spread out over 5 weeks with the goal of you being able to learn about the Fusion 360 API, write your custom app, and share it with others via the <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.exchange.autodesk.com\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Autodesk App Store<\/a>. Plus, if you submit your app by October 30th you\u2019ll get $500!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"video-embed-center video-embed\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"embedly-embed\" src=\"http:\/\/cdn.embedly.com\/widgets\/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2FVpbjiHFeBqI%3Ffeature%3Doembed&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DVpbjiHFeBqI%26feature%3Dyoutu.be&amp;image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FVpbjiHFeBqI%2Fhqdefault.jpg&amp;key=fad07bfa4bd747d3bdea27e17b533c0e&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;schema=youtube\" width=\"601\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You can learn all the details about the Hackathon and sign up on the official <a href=\"http:\/\/fusion360hackathon.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Fusion 360 Hackathon site<\/a>. Even if you don\u2019t have an idea for an app, this is a great chance to learn about the API and get started writing your own utilities. The Hackathon will consist of several presentations and also scheduled time where you can get help with your specific issues.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Learning more about the API is a great way to better understand the internals of Fusion and how it works, which can help you in your day-to-day use of Fusion. The API also allows you to do things that you wouldn\u2019t consider doing interactively because of how tedious the work would be. Plus, it\u2019s really fun!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For example, here\u2019s a design Brian Ekins, an Autodesk Principal Developer Consultanst has been working on. It\u2019s nothing special as far as features in that\u2019s it just a bunch of combine features, but positioning the tool bodies like this would not be fun through the user interface. Once the program was written now it\u2019s just a matter of a couple of minutes to run the program to generate this geometry.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"BrianE.png\" src=\"http:\/\/autodesk.i.lithium.com\/t5\/image\/serverpage\/image-id\/188654i7E0AB65E0BB02D0D\/image-size\/original?v=mpbl-1&amp;px=-1\" alt=\"BrianE.png\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We look forward to you joining the Hackathon and showing off your Fusion 360 skills!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><P><IMG border=\"0\" alt=\"Hackathon5.png\" src=\"http:\/\/autodesk.i.lithium.com\/t5\/image\/serverpage\/image-id\/191601iBAF3AB9B4369E23E\/image-size\/original?v=mpbl-1&amp;px=-1\" title=\"Hackathon5.png\" \/><\/P><P>Join the Fusion 360 Hackathon, write a custom app, and win $500!<\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":193,"featured_media":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"coauthors":[],"class_list":["post-419","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-fusion","dhig-theme--light"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
