CAD for Beginners takes the beginner maker or hobbyist through the essentials of 3D CAD modeling.

The rise of enthusiast 3D printing and CNC machining has created a need for 3D CAD modeling skills, but CAD has traditionally been associated with a steep learning curve. With CAD for Beginners, you’ll learn the basics of 3D CAD modeling all the way to advanced modeling using Autodesk Fusion 360, the cloud powered 3D CAD/CAM tool. In this practical guide, you’ll start by learning the principles of parametric modeling and basic modeling and assembly methods. Then, you’ll move into advanced modeling concepts like 3D sketching and splines, helixes and ribs, technical drawing, and rendering.
