It has gained considerable market share in education due to its cloud-based platform and free licenses for students and teachers. Commonly used in industry, Fusion 360 allows educators to teach using real-world software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/edukits.co\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/CC37988C-3BB1-45C7-96FC-7B54C943A4F3-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5663839\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The new PrintLab course is a fantastic step toward making Fusion 360 more accessible to new users, students and teachers alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While it is a powerful and intuitive solution, Fusion 360 requires training and practice to use. The developer, Autodesk, already offers extensive learning material through their design academy platform, but this is not well-suited to the classroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, the <em>Introduction to Fusion 360<\/em> course aims to be a &#8216;classroom-friendly&#8217; entry point to Fusion 360, covering all essential features in under 60 minutes. This should make it incredibly easy to get up-to-speed with the software and start creating right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The course is structured around 13 bite-sized instructional videos. Each video focuses on a different set of Fusion 360 tools, which participants use to add features to a series of provided base models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/edukits.co\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/343A7852-EA90-49FB-A6DE-90CAD88043D0-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5663840\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For educators who are new to CAD, or those who are looking to move up from a simpler solution such as Tinkercad, this PrintLab course is a great option. Once completed, participants will have a solid foundation of design skills to work with and build upon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The course is available now with a subscription to PrintLab classroom. If you&#8217;re not subscribed, <a class=\"rank-math-link\" href=\"https:\/\/edukits.co\/printlab\/\">try PrintLab free<\/a> and gain access to all their projects, lesson plans, training and more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PrintLab Classroom, the popular 3D education platform, today launched its new Introduction to Fusion 360 course.
