Intermediate Fusion Course Online (Self-Paced)

Take your Autodesk Fusion skills to the next level with this self-paced, project-based course built around a real-world design challenge. You’ll design a custom trim tool kit for auto mechanics while developing advanced modeling skills, including surfacing, plastics tools, and multi-part assemblies. The self-paced format allows you to work through each phase of the project on your own schedule while following professional design workflows.

By the end of the course, you’ll have a portfolio-ready project that demonstrates your ability to design ergonomic, user-focused products for manufacturing. You’ll also gain experience creating and managing assemblies, technical drawings, and production-ready designs, while applying advanced Fusion tools to build complex, functional models.

By completing this course, you will have developed expertise in:

• Master advanced surfacing and plastics tools in Autodesk Fusion

• Create and manage complex assemblies using linked components

• Design and model a multi-part product with toolbox, tray, and tools

• Generate professional-grade product designs for manufacturing

• Refine modeling skills by creating durable components for real-world use
