Our on-demand workshops are designed to teach you new skills with digital tools. In this workshop we will be introducing you to Fusion 360 - a 3D modelling program free for students and educators. It is widely used and known for being user friendly for beginners. As you learn more you will discover it is a powerful tool for modelling 3D designs.

3D modelling can be useful for showing off product designs, 3D printer or CNC router prototypes, creating 3D game assets and more.

In this workshop our Maker Space Coordinator will:

Take you on a tour of Fusion 360's functions and features
Walk you through the creation of your own vase
Walk you through the creation of a threaded bolt with a rendered metal appearance

We hope you enjoy this workshop!
