Class 02: 2D Design & Cutting
2 minute read
This class we introduced our websites and learned the basics of using digital calipers, laser cutters and Fusion 360.
Although I already know how to CAD in Autodesk Inventor, it was fun to try to learn how to use Fusion 360. Overall it seems like a much cleaner version of Inventor which I like. My knowledge on Inventor was still very spotty and very basic, so I tried learning a lot more about more intricate sketching techniques, complex extrusions and 3D tools like the "hole" and pattern features. I decided to do a few CADS for both, since after this class I'll have to use Inventor for FRC Robotics and school again and I didn't want to put all my eggs in one basket. Below are some of the ones I made. You can click on them to download the file.
