Read MoreI've made several attempts to learn Fusion360 from Youtube videos to create models for 3D printing, but I always felt I had learned only bits and pieces instead of a comprehensive skillset. Consequently, I was never confident with the software and resorted to Tinkercad a lot. Having done this course, I now feel like I can design anything I want to in Fusion360. Not only are the projects in this course interesting, they're also carefully arranged in a way that leads you deeper and deeper into the program whille never overwhelming you at the same time. This, as well as being part of a community that learns together makes this course not only easy to stick with but also a lot of fun. Last but not least, Jake and Josh are super friendly, helpful and their enthusiasm for CAD is infectious.

Read MoreI started off this course having made 1 or two INCREDIBLY simple models on TinkerCAD, and having always heard that F360 is the way to go, I decided to give this course a shot, and WOW! this course is SUPER fun, but also incredibly in-depth and really explains all the how's and why's of a CAD modeler. before taking this course, CAD in general looked like some kind of black magic to me. but after completing this course, I can say that I am incredibly confident in my ability to model anything I can think up. I can't recommend this course enough!

Read MoreI've "made do" with Tinkercad for many of my designs because I didn't know where to get started on learning Fusion360. For the times I did need power, I'd use youtube videos to do the one task, often frustrated knowing I didn't have the right foundation knowledge. I am happy to say I am a now a lot more confident and modelling far more complex things that I ever expected to be able to do and really enjoy the process now. The course materials are well presented and easy to follow. If you're into 3d printing or wanting have a CNC machine at home, this is well worth the investment of your time.

Read MoreThe course effectively addressed the challenges I previously faced while learning Fusion 360. As a beginner with minimal experience using a CAD program, I quickly gained confidence and proficiency in design as a hobbyist. The instructor, course material, and projects provided a solid foundation for learning. I appreciated the incorporation of real-world examples in the lectures, which made the course more focused on design principles rather than just software instruction. The structured and purposeful lesson progression, with the repetition of elements from previous exercises, helped to develop my skills and improve my muscle memory. By the third or fourth week, I had acquired enough knowledge to troubleshoot and correct my mistakes independently. The weekly meetings were also a valuable aspect of the course, keeping me engaged and accountable. Overall, it was one of the most positive online learning experiences I've had. As a hobbyist with a garage CNC and 3D printer, CAD is no longer a barrier to my projects.

Read MoreHad trouble getting into fusion because videos out there were either too fast paced or too dry. This class was able to hold my attention by giving real world examples and keeping videos interesting. Jake and Josh are very passionate about cad and it shows. I was nervous just to open Fusion before. Now I'm very confident opening it up, whipping up a part and printing it out!
