More than being fun and a great utility, Fusion 360 has made it possible for the Digi Digit’s team to meet its goal of building prosthetic training devices. “It’s a great software for education folks because it’s fun and easy to learn,” he said. In fact, Olson believes in the power of Fusion 360 as an educational tool. This is both a credit to Mesa’s curriculum and the near lack of learning curve required to make Fusion 360 productive to a user’s end. “After a three-hour introduction to the software, the students were off and running with their designs,” Olson said. Once Olson got word of that news through his campus network, he offered to set the team up with an intensive tutorial of Fusion 360 via ThinkEdu. Though most of the Digi Digits team had prior experience with CAD, the team lead wanted to standardize the modeling environment they were using. He recently worked with a team of students at Penn State that go by the name Digi Digits.ĭigi Digits is a team of engineering students “dedicated to improving, designing and 3D printing prosthetic-like training devices for children who have hand/arm malformations or disabilities.” Steve Olson, Mesa manager of training services, has been working in the CAD training world for years. While Mesa’s client are typically corporate entities looking to onboard designers quickly, or get old hands trained on the latest version of a CAD package, it has recently started to reach out to students via ThinkEdu to help facilitate Fusion 360 training. As a reseller of Autodesk software for well over a generation, it has seen the industry transform radically and developed its curriculum to respond to the state of the art in the design field. has been in the business of teaching CAD to students for over 25 years. Perhaps maybe more important is that those same qualities make Fusion 360 an ideal platform for teaching budding engineers of all ages how computer-aided design (CAD) tools can be used to bring innovation to life. With all of its attributes, Fusion 360 is a robust design tool capable of helping any engineer, regardless of skill level or time in industry, realize their ideas. Though the tools listed above seem numerous, they represent only a fraction of the capabilities the software has in its fold.
