1 Introduction to CAD: From 2D to 3D Modeling Instructor Guide This instructor guide is a comprehensive tool for facilitating this course in the classroom. Prepare to teach this course by thoroughly reviewing this document, as well as all related course materials and resources. You don t need be expert in Autodesk Fusion 360 to deliver this course. If you are new to Fusion 360 and/or new to CAD, we suggest developing a solid foundation in the core concepts of Fusion 360. The following learning resources are pre-requisites to help prepare you in supporting your students through this course. Fusion 360: Foundational Concepts (academy.autodesk.com) explores core concepts behind Fusion 360 CAD/CAM through a series of lectures and hands-on exercises. We highly recommend you enroll in this course if you are new to Fusion 360 and/or new to CAD. We ve summarized the core Fusion 360 skills in Introduction to CAD: From 2D to 3D Modeling course so you can familiarize yourself with them before delivering this learning content in the classroom. It s always recommended that you work through the course yourself in preparation for each lesson. Sketch Basic Sketch Modeling. Sketch Application of Dimensions and Constraints. Feature Extrude, Revolve and Fillet. Assembly Application of Joints and As-Built Joints. Assembly Edit Joint Limits. Rendering Scene Setup and Cloud Rendering. Simulation Static Simulation Constraints and Loads. Simulation Local Mesh Control. Drawings View Creation with BOM Callouts. Page 1
