Why are we doing this?
In the world of electronics and engineering, a circuit board is useless if it is damaged or difficult to hold. 3D modelling allows us to express design ideas, refine them digitally, and prototype functional housings before wasting materials on manufacturing.
Your teacher may choose to use a different version of CAD software, that is up to the school
First Task: Set Up Your Research Doc
First Task: Set Up Your Research Doc
Before starting Project 1, add a new section to your Research Doc that you created in the first unit.
Title: [Your Name] - Fusion 360 Housing Unit
Create 4 Headings:
Project 1: Keyring & Basics
Project 2: Volume & Efficiency
Project 3: Assemblies & Tolerance
Project 4: Final Housing Design
Second Task: Sort your licence
Second Task: Sort your licence
The first thing you need to do is to create a free educational license. All instructions here. The video on the left explains it. (Make sure you sign in)
WARNING
Often school software version does not change throughout the year. This means that if you work on a project on your home computer then the version will not be compatible with the school system and you will need to only work on it on your home computer/own device.
