Build and visualize your ideas in three dimensions. Learn how to create parametric 3D models in Fusion 360 for CNC, 3D printing, and digital prototyping.
Turn your concepts into tangible 3D models using Fusion 360’s parametric design tools.
In this 2-hour follow-up to 2D Drafting, you’ll learn how to extrude, fillet, shell, and combine sketches to create solid, manufacturable parts.
You’ll explore:
- The fundamentals of Fusion’s 3D modeling workspace.
- Building parts from sketches and understanding the timeline workflow.
- Parametric design: editing geometry intelligently and efficiently.
- Preparing files for 3D printing, CNC machining, or visualization.
You’ll leave class with a fully realized 3D part ready to export for fabrication — and a deeper understanding of how digital design connects directly to Make’s tools.
Prerequisite: Participants must complete this 2D Drafting test in any 3D modeling software and email it to us before attending the class.
Perfect for: Makers looking to bridge design and production, or anyone ready to bring their 2D plans to life.
