Most of the tutorials on the web recommends the Bluestacks app and I might be tempted to recommend it too, because you are more likely to easily find solutions online if you have trouble using the Bluestacks application on your computer.

However, as this is SolidWorks, the process will be slightly different in Fusion 360, but it can be a good place to go if you aren't sure about a method of modeling.Step 1: Download an Android emulator for PC and Mac If you get stuck, they have a solution video which shows a good workflow to create the part. Each year they have a phase 1 drawing of a part to make, then you can modify the part (I recommend making a copy and then editing) to match the phase 2 drawing. These are a collection of parts that SolidWorks gives out at a yearly event they host to challenge peoples SolidWorks skills. If you can't find decent things to try and create that are just laying around you, then I would suggest (although they might be slightly more challenging) the models that can be found here.

Once you get a feel for the general environment, how to use the software, and feel comfortable with many of the tools, I would try working on modeling some example items.

Lastly, there are honestly a lot of good tutorials on YouTube that you can follow along with. Also, Autodesk's website has some additional course modules ( ) that you can log in to take and save progress. Depending on your current level of skill, Fusion's tutorials (under the help button > Learning & Help > Start Here (or) Learning & Tutorials) is a great place to start. I hope that helps some, and if you have any more specific questions or want some direction on a tips with learning Fusion, just let me know and I'd be happy to help.įor mechanical engineering, I would definitely start in the regular solid design model environment and then move on to surfacing, patches, sheet metal, forms, etc. Even though it is free, you still have a huge group of tools to learn that would translate over to other packages and even some that the more professional packages don't have yet. And Fusion 360 is a fantastic CAD package to learn and then be able to swap to one of the bigger name packages later. It is orders of magnitude easier to swap from one CAD package to another (tools are generally the same - they just change name and some dialog boxes look different) than to learn a professional CAD package from scratch. The good news though, is that if you want to get to a career where you work with CAD as a mechanical engineer, getting proficient with ANY CAD package is often more important than WHICH CAD package. SolidWorks, NX, Inventor, CATIA, and Creo are the big ones, but not all of them have free versions of the license or cheap/free student editions. As far as free CAD packages go, of the many I have tested, Fusion 360 is by far my favorite and is certainly a great tool to learn.Īfter graduating, do you know what industry you would like to work with ideally or what role you would like to play in your career? I ask because different industries tend to utilize different CAD packages. I graduated ME and have been working professionally with CAD for several years now (and I began using different CAD packages looong before graduating), so I think I have a good position to answer questions you might have.
