By partnering with the Design and Technology as a Blueprint 1000® member, Autodesk have been delivering comprehensive and free workshops to schools covering Fusion. Fusion is a cloud-based 3D modelling software platform widely used by industrial designers, mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, machinists, and start-ups. Fusion differs from AutoCAD which allows you to create 2D and 3D drawings. Autodesk Fusion is an integrated combination of CAD, CAM, CAE, and PCB all in one.
Workshops
The software and workshops are all provided by Autodesk and are delivered virtually and in-person to ensure accessibility. Sessions allow educators to learn more about the programme to provide their students with a solid grounding in CAD/CAM fundamentals, plus manufacturing and engineering skills which will then ensure they are prepared for the future of work using the latest tools.
The workshops include an introduction to the software. Its cloud-based collaboration features enable remote access from anywhere and implementation into your classroom quickly and easily. Students will be able to bring their ideas to life with CAM and 3D printing capabilities.
Autodesk has millions of users and is a world leader in 3D design, engineering, manufacturing, building and construction so this is an opportunity not to be missed. They offer a range of handy resources on their website which also explores the capabilities of Fusion 360.
Tony Ryan, Chief Executive Officer, The Design & Technology Association explains; “The workshops will enable schools to deliver cutting edge design and technology curriculum in the classroom and ensure that the future of design and manufacturing in the UK remains at the cutting edge of global practice.”
These webinars ensure that the workforce of tomorrow have the skills that they need for industry.
