Welcome to the Introduction to Generative Design for Manufacturing Using Fusion 360 course.
00:10
If you're a design or engineer student or professional and are looking to expand your CAD skills,
00:15
by incorporating Generative Design in your workflow, you've come to the right course.
00:20
Generative Design in Fusion 360 is a design exploration tool that harnesses the computational power of the cloud,
00:27
and provides designers and engineers with multiple design options, editable CAD geometry,
00:32
and the ability to influence designs with the use of manufacturing methods such as additive manufacturing or milling constraints.
00:39
Users of Generative Design can take advantage of this technology to solve complex engineering problems
00:45
such as consolidating parts by reducing the overall number of parts and components,
00:50
reducing the weight of parts and components by using the least amount of material to make the part as effective as possible,
00:56
and increasing performance by designing stronger parts and components.
01:01
In this course, we will walk through some of the basics of defining, running and working with generative designs.
01:06
From creating assemblies, setting up preserve and obstacle geometry,
01:10
defining a generative study and working with the outcomes, this course has you covered.
01:15
Everyone is sure to benefit from learning the mindset shift of generative design while the technology is emerging,
01:21
and will surely help shape the future of design.
01:25
After completing this course, you'll be able to design assembly components,
01:29
create preserve and obstacle geometry for a generative study, set up and run a generative study,
01:35
identify a generative mindset process, edit a generative outcome and create basic sculpted bodies.

Learn the essentials to set up, generate, explore generative design outcomes and post process generative designs. Generative Design is a new type of workflow to quickly generate high-performing design alternatives with optimized geometry that oftentimes is far removed from a traditional design. We’ll explore the basics of Fusion 360 assemblies, geometry creation with a focus on obstacle geometry, and set up of a generative design and develop knowledge of advanced T-spline tools to post process a generative output. With the rapid expansion of various types of manufacturing, from additive, subtractive and even hybrid approaches the generative design workflow will give you the power to explore every avenue of a design.
After this course, you'll be able to:
