Fusion 36 course to be offered in Point Pleasant
The Marshall Advanced Manufacturing Center (MAMC) is offering in-person training in November to use the popular computer-aided-design (CAD) software Fusion 360. For a limited time, the training is free.
MAMC professionals will teach a free four-day class Nov. 6, 8, 13 and 15 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. daily at the Marshall University Mid-Ohio Valley Center in Point Pleasant. No experience is necessary.
Participants will explore the powerful potential of Fusion 360 and its key features.

Upon completion, participants will be able to:
- Navigate the Fusion 360 user interface
- Create and manage design files
- Create components and assemblies
- Define sketches
- Create and modify solid bodies using core CAD features
- Set up and generate product renderings
