Design Course 1 "F360 Essentials for Guitar Makers"
100% pre-recorded
At your own pace
This introductory Fusion 360 course for guitar and bass makers is designed for those just starting out in the digital design of musical instruments. We’ll begin with the basics: software installation, movement commands, etc., and move on to more advanced tools for drawing our first geometries, applying constraints and dimensions for accurate definition.
We’ll wrap up this course by applying what you’ve learned to a couple of 2D CAD exercises for musical instruments, so you can test your skills with practical digital design examples.
- 100% pre-recorded content.
- Access through the Hotmart platform.
- Progress at your own pace and review the content as many times as you want.
- Video exercises with downloadable materials.
- Online support for questions.
Who is this course for?
- Amateurs, hobbyists, or professional luthiers passionate about crafting and luthiery.
- People with no previous experience in Fusion360 design software who want to learn how to use a design program from scratch.
- People interested in the subject, with previous experience in design and/or digital fabrication who want to learn a new CAD/CAM design tool.
- People with access to a computer with a stable internet connection that can support the installation of Autodesk’s Fusion 360 program (free personal use version). See technical requirements here
