In this lesson we introduce the concept of creating tools in Fusion 360. It is sometimes easier to design a cutting tool, and then use that tool to create a hole in a 3D model. This is an important lesson and has a really powerful design method. Enjoy!

Learn Fusion 360 LESSON 12: Understanding the Fusion 360 Timeline
The Fusion 360 timeline is a very powerful tool that allows you to effectively edit 3D models. Instead of trying to undesign some feature in your model, use the timeline to go back in time and change your original step. It is critical to understand this tool as your models become more complex. Enjoy!
Learn Fusion 360 LESSON 11: Design Gear Box with Stacked Gears
In this tutorial we give step-by-step instructions on how to design stacked herringbone gears. We then assemble these gears into a gearbox. This can be repeated to create some very impressive gear ratios. The designs are suitable for 3d printers, and we have printed these gear boxes on both the Prusa and Raise3d printers.
Learn Fusion 360 LESSON 10: Design and Print Herringbone Gears
In this lesson we show you how to use Fusion 360 to design Herringbone Gears. These inter meshing gears can be printed on a 3D printer. These gears have intrinsic advantages over helical gears. Enjoy!
Learn Fusion 360 LESSON 9: Design Helical Gears for 3D Printers
In this lesson we show you how to design Helical Gears. These gears can easily be printed on 3D printers. WE show you how to design a variety of inter meshing gears. Enjoy!
