ADM 2077 - Fusion 360 for Additive Manufacturing

Credits: 1
Hours/Week: Lecture 1 Lab 0
Course Description: This course focuses on Autodesk Fusion 360’s advanced tools and features for additive manufacturing. Course activities expose students to specific Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM) tools used to optimize parts for performance and printing with a variety of printing technologies. Emphasis is placed on advanced modeling techniques such lattice structures, importing mesh bodies and generative design. This course integrates real-world projects providing students with practical experience needed to leverage these skills in the rapidly evolving field of additive manufacturing.

 
Prerequisite(s): ADM 1055 or ADM 2075 with a grade of C or higher
