We're offering another round of Fusion 360 classes - and this time, we're adding even more classes to the lineup!
Fusion 360 expert C.J. Caton will teach the course and cover foundational concepts like 3D printing basics, sketching, 3D modeling, and advanced assembly. Whether you’re new to the software or want to refine your CAD skills, these classes will provide useful and hands-on instruction.
Full session descriptions, enrollment information, and details are below. Groover Labs members will receive a $10 discount on each class in the series.
The sessions will be held July 7-8, July 14-15, and July 21-22, at Groover Labs. Each class is available individually for $50 per session. Participants can attend any number of sessions. C.J. will run Fusion 360 on a large HDTV in the classroom, and attendees will follow along on their laptops, asking questions as they go.
Attendees must bring their own laptops with a free version of Fusion 360 installed. Minors 16 and older may attend with an accompanying adult. Space is limited, so register today!
Fusion 360 is an important tool for product design and prototyping. If you have an idea you want to develop, these classes provide the basic skills to get started.
