3D Printing Software

3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing,

This course will demonstrate how to use 3D printing software to create digital designs that can be turned into physical objects. It will also demonstrate how 3D scanners work to turn physical objects into digital designs. This course is hands-on in nature and will provide step-by-step instructions to guide you through two popular 3D modeling programs, Tinkercad and Fusion 360. Learners who complete this course will be able to use 3D software to design a wide variety of objects for both personal and professional use. In addition, learners who enroll in the course certificate will receive extended free access to Fusion 360 (provided by Autodesk).

3d printing

Ótimo conteúdo, ótimo professor it is very useful course for people how interested about 3D printing Is this an educational course or an advertisement for Autodesk?

Meshmixer is an Autodesk product and oddly isn't even mentioned, despite being widely used in the 3D printing community.

Time is wasted on learning rendering - after all, this class is focused on 3D printing, not sales or marketing (the reasons the instuctor gave for using rendering).

Eagerly waiting for 3D printing Hardware.

I've learnt pretty much during the last few weeks that I've been working on 3D printing software course.

I very much hope that the hardware course is released ASAP so I could proceed with the 3D printing specialization.

Awesome The 3D Printing Software class was challenging and Fun.

If so, why?Bill Clark This course introduced me to the different software tools that can be used for 3D Printing.

I recommend this course, as well as this specialization, to anyone interested in 3D Printing.

This particular course has really helped me in gaining more deeper knowledge on 3D printing and its software.

It does not cover the software used for actual 3D printing.

just what I needed to quickly understand 3d printing in one package A well structured and designing course.

aide a maitrisse des options caché du logiciel its good course, but it need a update, because some programs that use the course are not longer available for the provider and the interface for fusion has change with the update, then its difficult to accomplish the task good course for learning how to design a model for 3D printing.

You won't learn a huge amount of 3D printing knowledge from it as the course focuses more on learning how to model in different software.

fusion 360

You will only experience and be told of Autodesk products: Sketchbook, Tinkercad, and Fusion 360.

No mention of Illustrator (vs Sketchbook), OpenSCAD (vs Tinkercad) or Solidworks (vs Fusion 360).

For instance, the move triad is described in Week 4 but really needs to be introduced in Week 3 when you start using Fusion 360 for the first time.

When exiting Sculpt, Fusion 360 would identify impossible geometries, remove them, and leave the remaining items intact that do not violate topology.

I really enjoyed the work with fusion 360 -a real eye-opener.The whole thing is little bit frustrating as we clash with the real world and economic limitations.

Enjoyed the course and learned a lot on how to model using Fusion 360.

Great introduction to several 3D Printing Software like TinkerCad, Fusion 360, PhotoScan, etc.

Initially it was quite challenging and I certainly had my fair share of frustrations trying to get a hang of Fusion 360.

Please believe me when I say that I run a copy of Fusion 360 at the same time as a particular instructional video is playing.

Still, it takes me weeks, not days, to understand what the professor is doing.It is true that there are several online tutorials with regard to using the sketch tools contained within Fusion 360.

Why is it that some of us who are new to the Fusion 360 environment have come to understand that we need to spend hours of our time to "fill in the blanks" of week 3?

Maybe Fusion 360 may have lasted one more week to get more indepth knowledge I wanted to give only 4 stars because of the all the “problems” we encountered, but then we are learners investigating problem solving by design thinking.

much less

No other design programs are mentioned much less compared and contrasted.

Even splines are not defined or explained, much less T-splines.

so much

Loved how fast I've learned so much!

Thank you so much Jeff, iy was usefull course, i think it needs to extend the material and learning's period.Thank you so much!!!
