Dive into the exciting world of 3D printing with my hands-on course designed to take you from concept to creation. In this course, you’ll learn to design a captivating twisted vase using Autodesk Fusion (earlier known as Autodesk Fusion 360), one of the most powerful tools for 3D modeling. Whether you're new to 3D design or looking to expand your skills, this course offers a step-by-step guide to mastering the essentials.

We start by guiding you through the creation of a component and developing a sketch that serves as the foundation of your design. You'll learn to use the trim tool to perfect your sketch before transitioning to Autodesk Fusion's form modeling environment. Here, you’ll shape your vase with precision, using advanced techniques to achieve a unique and elegant design.

Once your sketch is complete, you’ll explore tools like fill hole and extrude cut, essential for refining your model. I’ll also teach you how to apply fillets to round corners, using advanced object selection methods to ensure every detail is just right.

After finishing your twisted vase, you’ll move on to creating a stunning rendering, bringing your design to life with photorealistic visuals. Finally, you'll prepare your model for the 3D printing process, ensuring it's optimized and ready to be fabricated.

3D printing is one of the most exciting and rapidly advancing technologies, offering endless possibilities for creativity and innovation. By the end of this course, you’ll not only have a beautifully designed and 3D printed twisted vase but also the confidence to tackle more complex projects, harnessing the full potential of 3D printing.
