Workshop on AutoDesk FUSION 360
REPORT ON FUSION 360 WORKSHOP
Fusion 360 is a cloud-based CAD/CAM/CAE tool for collaborative product development. Fusion 360 combines fast and easy solid modelling and assembly of machine components. It allows for making designs manufacturable and generating CNC programs which are used directly in CNC machines. From the Engineering Department (M&I section), 21 students attended and benefitted from this programme. On the first day, the students learnt how to create a basic sketch and turn this into a fully working assembly, and on the second day students practiced with the CAM module and developed a CNC program for a CNC milling machine.
