Course Overview
Learn to design for 3D printing with my easy to follow video lessons using Fusion 360
The real magic in 3D printing happens when you are able to create your own designs. We will learn how to use Autodesk Fusion 360 to design ten practical and functional products that can be 3D printed. Each lesson will build on the prior to introduce design concepts and best practices when when designing for desktop 3D printers. Fusion 360 is free for students and hobbyists and is a very powerful designing tool. By the end of the course you will have the skills and confidence to begin creating your own designs and start turning your ideas into physical objects.

I’m very happy with this course. I knew next to nothing about designing in Fusion 360 and this course got me started. The lessons were easy to follow and beginner friendly!

The projects are well chosen to explain the features of Fusion that apply to 3d printing.

I had little to no knowledge of Fusion 360, this cleared alot of the information that I read about up and helped me clean some rough designs i had up.

This was the first course I purchased to learn Autodesk Fusion several months ago, and it genuinely helped me become familiar with the software and start creating my first designs. Overall, it is a solid introductory course. Although the Autodesk Fusion interface shown in the course is outdated compared to the current version (May 2026), with a bit of searching I never had trouble finding the tools. Additionally, the instructor includes an update video at the beginning of the course addressing this change. The reason I am not giving it a higher rating is that some of the projects simply did not capture my interest (such as the taco stand or the hair comb), and I believe more engaging or practical designs could have been chosen. The bottle opener project contains one of the weakest explanations of the spline tool that I have seen. In previous projects, everything was handled with precise measurements to ensure identical results; however, in this case it felt more like, “I’m not sure how to explain this so we all get the same design, but try to make it as similar to mine as possible.” In other courses I have taken, this can be resolved easily with a proper parametric approach, but here the instructor does not seem to fully master the explanation of that section. That said, it is still a good course, and I recommend it if this is your first introduction to Autodesk Fusion. Even though the interface is somewhat outdated, all tools can be located without major difficulty. I am currently at an intermediate level after several months and additional courses, and I decided to retake this one to measure my progress. What initially felt very complex now seems quite straightforward. If you already have an intermediate or advanced level, you likely will not find much value in this course, as it is 100% focused on beginners.
