Name: Digital Design with Autodesk Fusion 360 — Classroom Course in Tallinn
Price: 1600 EUR

Information about training in this course.

Course objective: Provide fundamental theoretical knowledge and basic practical skills necessary for developing product digital designs in Autodesk Fusion 360

The training takes place in a classroom format at Tartu mnt. 18, Tallinn, equipped for practical work. The group size is limited to 8 participants. The course fee includes all study materials and licenses. A laptop is provided for the duration of the training if needed.

Target group:

This course is for you if you:

are a beginner with no CAD experience and want to learn product design in Fusion 360 from scratch;
are a design engineer or technologist and would like to move to a modern cloud-based CAD/CAM tool;
are an industrial or product designer and need to model products and prepare them for manufacturing;
are a 3D printing or CNC specialist and are interested in creating your own models for printing and machining (CAM);
are a maker, inventor or DIY enthusiast and want to turn ideas into finished 3D models;
are changing careers from another field and plan to move into design and digital manufacturing;
are a student of an engineering or design discipline and would like practical skills and a project portfolio;
are an entrepreneur or small manufacturer and need to design products and tooling yourself.

Requirements for students:

confident PC user

basic English proficiency (approximately equivalent to A1/A2 level)

it is desirable to have a personal laptop (Windows/Mac, 8 GB RAM, screen size > 13.3 inches); a laptop will be provided for the duration of the training if needed.
