Introduction to Fusion 360, design and toolpath creation.

This class is an introduction tutorial for using one of the most widely used and (mostly) free to use software for parametric modelling, Fusion 360. The class will cover design and toolpath creation. The class will use the Laguna CNC's as a basis, but the information can be used for a variety of machines. The class will be help in person at Asmbly in the Multi Purpose room.

This class doesn't replace the Beginner CNC class for the Laguna's.
