More about this course

Get foundational knowledge in computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) and the practical use of CNC mills. Begin in Fusion 360 CAD by learning how to read basic blueprints, how to properly sketch and model 3D parts.

We’ll then explore CNC milling basics to ensure we have the knowledge needed to effectively define toolpaths.
