Take your designs from idea to precise 2D plans using Fusion 360’s sketch tools. Learn how to create accurate drawings for laser cutting, CNC routing, and fabrication projects.
Move beyond basic design concepts and learn how to draft like a maker in Autodesk Fusion 360.
In this hands-on 2-hour class, you’ll explore Fusion’s 2D sketch environment to produce precise, manufacturable designs for laser cutting, CNC routing, and other digital fabrication workflows.
You’ll learn how to:
- Create and fully constrain sketches for clean, reproducible geometry.
- Use parametric dimensions to make your designs scalable.
- Apply layers and export file types compatible with MAKE’s machines.
- Think like a fabricator — design with material, thickness, and toolpaths in mind.
By the end of class, you’ll have built a complete, production-ready 2D layout and the confidence to design your own projects for Make’s Laser Cutter, CNC Router, or Water Jet.
Perfect for: Makers ready to move from inspiration to precise execution.
