Learn 3D Mechanical Design Using Fusion360! (Workshop 1 - LEGS)

Stop 3D printing other designer's models and instead, learn to 3D CAD (Computer Aided Design) up your own designs! In this fun, immersive series you will learn the fundamentals of 3D design by CADing up all parts of a giant LEGO®-like character using Fusion 360. Not only will you learn how to CAD up your own 3D models and assemblies, you will also receive your 3D prints and get to keep all your parts needed to fully assemble your larger than life character!

Each workshop session will be for a different part needed to build a complete large Lego®-like character. There is no start or end dates for this workshop, so Feel free to book the next available slot and get started!

You will receive your 3D design(s) 3D printed by us at our print farm (different location than workshop), printed in the color of your choice and delivered to you at the next workshop session.
