CAD for 3D printing

CAD for 3D Printing - 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing is transforming how we make things. From new products to tools, fixtures and medical devices, 3D printers are becoming more and more useful and capable. When we print on paper, this is the final stage after many hours of writing the document to print. 3D printing is the same: you need to be able to use computer-aided-design software (CAD) to first create the shapes that you want to 3D print. In this beginner session, you will learn how to get started with Autodesk Fusion 360 to model an everyday product before preparing it for 3D printing.

This session lasts between 60-90 minutes. The main session is preceded by a welcome presentation and ends with a Q&A where students are free to ask questions. It is aimed at year group 12 and 13 and is delivered via MS Teams.

Students will need to download the free software prior to the session.
