Assemblies are a part of virtually every product design, ranging from the simple to complex.
00:09
Companies rely on assembly modeling to make sure the products that they manufacture work as outlined in the design plan.
00:17
They must know what they create will stay together or move as needed.
00:21
To do that, they need to be able to control connections between the parts of their design.
00:26
In Fusion, an assembly model is a collection of parts and subassemblies that function as a single unit.
00:33
Parts and subassemblies are connected by assembly relationships.
00:37
Since there is no special file type for assemblies, each Fusion design can be a single part with only bodies,
00:44
or an assembly with joint components, or a mix of the two.
00:48
Using the 3D modeling tools in Fusion, you design your assemblies in three-dimensional modeling space.
00:54
Fusion also makes it easy for you to create and manage your 3D projects, as well as structure the design using components.
01:02
Start with a sketch and a reference image, then utilize the extrude capabilities to build it in 3D.
01:09
Parametric modeling techniques, physical materials,
01:13
and direct modeling techniques all can be used to design your model, entirely in 3D.
01:19
Then, when your assembly and subassemblies are ready,
01:22
you can test mechanisms to see the effects of their actuation on individual components.
01:27
You can also use advanced controls for joints and apply connections between joints to model complex mechanisms.
01:35
The 3D capabilities in Fusion allow you to model just as you would in the real world,
01:40
but with the benefit of perfecting your design virtually, before manufacture.

Welcome to Introduction to 3D Modeling. Learning 3D modeling is a critical and essential skillset for any product designer, engineer, or machinist. Being able to use Fusion CAD will help you take an excellent idea from a concept, through to a working 3D CAD model for manufacture, testing, and production. Follow along as we learn the basics of modeling and detailed drawing.
