Elevate your design and manufacturing processes with Autodesk Fusion
We’re back, baby! Registration is open for Autodesk University 2023, happening November 13-15 in Las Vegas, Nevada. You know what that means: it’s time to start packing your schedule with Fusion 360 classes and special events.
Secure your event pass and get ready! Class enrollment opens tomorrow, August 24. There are over 75 Fusion 360 classes to choose from across a variety of topics and industries, from CAM to prototyping to automotive. We know planning your schedule is an overwhelming task—in a good way! So, we’ve gathered 10 suggestions to get you started. Each class has a limited number of spots, so be sure to act quickly.
Fusion 360 Live Factory Experience
Each year, our team designs and develops a consumer product that we then fabricate live at Autodesk University. Attendees can explore our mini factory floor installation IRL and help build a product of their own to take home. This year’s experience focuses on plastic injection molding. Attendees will make plastic keypads by walking through the entire product development process.
Registration link coming soon.
Factory Experience: Are Your Plastic Parts Production Ready?
After you attend the Live Factory Experience, make sure you join this follow-up course to get an even more in-depth look at how Autodesk simulation tools can aid your journey from concept to production. Learn if Fusion 360 injection molding simulation is right for you or if you need Moldflow to get your part production ready.
Now, New, and Next in Autodesk Fusion 360
In this session, we’ll focus on the Fusion 360 roadmap. You’ll hear about previously released features and functionality across all workspaces, those imminently due for release, and those further along in the pipeline.
Hands-on Lab: Design, Simulate, and Prototype
This class will focus on how you can utilize Fusion 360 and its extensions for digital prototyping, focusing on a consumer electronics (security camera) assembly. We’ll demonstrate how to effectively experiment with product design alternatives, collaborate with key project stakeholders, test PCB layouts, run structural and manufacturing simulations, and render final product previews—all within Fusion 360.
How Turn/Mill Machines and Autodesk Fusion 360 Help Rivian Increase Its Throughput
While product demand is increasing, specialized employees are hard to find. Meanwhile, increasing production efficiency and using less labor is becoming more important every day. In the first half of this class, we’ll discuss how using multitasking machines can help you increase your throughput, reduce waste, and improve efficiency on your manufacturing floor. In the second half, Matthew Yates and Josh Postell from Rivian will present how they use Autodesk Fusion 360 to program their CNC machines and how the latest and upcoming software improvements make them more productive.
Success with Generative Design in 2023
Generative design in Autodesk Fusion 360 is becoming a household name for those who want to achieve better engineering outcomes in less time. In this session, you’ll get a look at how generative design in Fusion 360 has matured in 2023 and how it will help enable your success in the future.
A Look into the Autodesk Fusion 360 Crystal Ball for Data Management
Join us as we explore improvements that we’ve made in research and development in the area of data management for Autodesk Fusion 360— from Fusion 360 software’s canvas to Fusion Team to the Manage Extension.
The ABC of 3D Printing: 26 Facts, Features, and Use Cases
This talk is all about how 3D printing technology is integrated into Fusion 360 and Netfabb. For each letter of the alphabet, the speakers will cover solutions, features, workflows, and machine integration topics. This is a light and easy talk for those seeking to understand how to harness the power of additive manufacturing with Autodesk tools.
Co-creating a Personalized App Recommendation Engine
Supercharge your software experience! This is an interactive workshop that welcomes attendees across all industries and Autodesk products. You’ll participate in a fun card game that matches your user profile with the perfect third-party apps/plugins from the Autodesk App Store.
