Autodesk Fusion 360 For Beginners (November 2025) COLORED: Step-by-step guidance for learning modeling, assemblies, and Drawings
A Practical Beginner's Guide to Learning Autodesk Fusion 360
Autodesk Fusion 360 for Beginners is written for anyone who wants a straightforward start in 3D design. Whether you are a student learning CAD for the first time, a hobbyist using 3D printing or CNC machines, or an engineer picking up Fusion 360 for practical work, this book guides you through the software in a clear, steady way.
The book blends explanation with real modelling tasks, making it an ideal self-study resource. It also works well as a classroom reference or a practical guide for anyone transitioning from other CAD platforms.
You will learn the essentials of parametric modeling, sketching, solid features, assemblies, and drawings, which form the core of mechanical design. The examples mirror real engineering situations, making the concepts easy to understand and apply.
What's Inside
Getting Started: Learn the workspace, interface, and basic tools so you can move around Fusion 360 comfortably.Sketching: Build strong parametric sketching habits with constraints and dimensions.Solid Features: Create 3D geometry using Extrude, Revolve, and other key tools used in mechanical CAD.Placed Features: Refine parts using fillets, chamfers, shells, threads, and more.Patterns and Mirrors: Speed up your workflow by reusing geometry accurately.Sweeps and Helical Shapes: Model pipes, handles, and spring-like components.Lofts: Shape smooth transitions for product design and engineering applications.Multibody and Advanced Tools: Work with multiple bodies and create more complex forms.Part Editing: Learn how to adjust and repair geometry without starting from scratch.Assemblies: Build mechanisms using bottom-up and top-down methods.Drawings: Produce clear 2D drawings for manufacturing and documentation.Customer Reviews
