Using some measurements and a simple line drawing, I now had an idea that I could turn into reality with Fusion360… hopefully! I set my sights on designing a phone holder and as advised by Nick Kloski, co-founder of HoneyPoint3D, I started to design with pen and paper. I finished the morning off with some targeted videos, a section based on answering specific questions such as how to extrude a 3D object from a sketch and it was at this point that I decided to pause the course and see if I could create a simple household item that I could then 3D print today.

From surface modelling and sculpting to rendering, animation and much more, I was truly shocked at how much Fusion360 can actually do – not to mention it’s free for students, educators and startups! The initial sections of the course talked me through an in-depth overview of Fusion360 along with how it works and the different environments within the software.

I began the course this morning and have so far completed around 2 hours’ worth of training. Today I embarked on my own journey with Fusion360, guided by HoneyPoint3D’s online course that consists of 15+ hours of instructional video. Their award-winning online courses have been tried and tested in the market and we couldn’t wait to get going with our own training. Last week we welcomed HoneyPoint3D into the PrintLab community. It connects your entire product development process in a single cloud-based platform that works on both Mac and PC”.
