Introduction to Mechanical Engineering Design and Manufacturing with Fusion 360 at Coursera Course details
- Design for manufacturing is the process of designing parts, components, or products with the understanding surrounding design requirements for a specific manufacturing method.
- This course explores the design for manufacture workflow and shows how to validate models and create the G code, the programming language needed to instruct the CNC machine on how to move. We practice the basics of part and assembly design, and tools such as animation, rendering, and simulations using Autodesk Fusion 360. We learn the basics in each of these areas which are to be fully developed in later courses that apply these principles and Fusion 360 skills.
- After taking this course, you'll be able to:
- - Explain the design to manufacturing process used to take a digital model to a physical part through CNC programming.
- - Summarize the toolset available in Fusion 360.
- - Demonstrate knowledge and skills in Fusion 360 applying design and manufacturing workflows to take digital parts to physical prototypes.
