As part of the Digital Design Tools, after completing this course, students will demonstrate proficiency in 3D CAD design software and tools, specifically, Fusion 360, as well as Keyshot rendering. They will acquire the skills necessary to translate conceptual 2D sketch ideas into 3D CAD models, CAD renderings, animations, and 2D technical CAD drawings.This course is designed based on the specific work dynamics of Autodesk Fusion 360 in parametric solids and surfaces, as well as the Form format using subdivision and direct modeling techniques.Students will be proficient in using Fusion 360 to effectively represent ideas to be used during the different phases of the design process from quick 3D sketch models, to detailed and precise functional models. They will also demonstrate the ability to generate the corresponding different file types required by these processes such as 3D printing, rendering, and other applications.  Students will explore the bridging of 3D into 4D product design experiences with immersive digital and tangible objects in physical and digital spaces.The use of AI is a tool to build/improve a product concept or narrative. As their digital skills progress, students will sketch with generative design tools (AI) and language modeling.
