9.13 - Welcome!

Class will meet every Friday afternoon. We will spend in-class time to learn a new theory or technique in the CAD software. You will be encouraged to practice the software and principles on your own between each session. I will add new models for practice each class for you to complete and they will relate to the robotics projects happening within CARobotics.

Getting Started:
Make an educational account on Autodesk for Fusion 360 here
Open Fusion 360, setup preferences (Z to top, default units, grid snapping, home view, mouse button settings/zoom)
Create a folder for the class materials called CAD151 in Fusion 360.

Supplemental Materials:
PVCC Photo Release Form
Intro Part in Fusion 360
How to Activate Educational Licensing for Fusion - Autodesk
In-class Example - .f3d
In-class Example Drawing - .pdf

For next class:
Create an Autodesk Educational Account if you have not done so already. This will be used to log in to Fusion 360.
Make sure to fill out the photo release form and submit via this form: Photo Release Form Submission
Finish the in-class example from the above drawing. Bring your finalized model to class and we will compare strategies used.

Find a unique part on the current robot that you want to model. Find all dimensions and draw up that part in CAD. Make sure to stick to inches for your document, even if certain dimensions are in millimeters like bolt diameters.

10.4 - Parametric Design and Teams

Getting Started:
Grab a bracket and measure everything you can think of about that part.
Create a new component and then dive into the parameters. Create all the unique, minimum amount of paramters for your part.
Catch up on any documentation from class.

Supplemental Materials:
Simple L-Bracket In Class Example
How to Utilize Fusion Teams
CA619 Fusion Team 2020

For next class:
Finish your bracket from class and make sure it is fully parameterized.
Create a parameterized width for the in class L Bracket to fit 2 and 3 inch extrusion.
Bring in some unique parts for complicated 3D design.
