How would it feel to be able to whip up any part you want in a flash!
If you’re a hobbyist or a tinkerer, then you probably already understand the value of being able to quickly and efficiently create your own 3D designs.
With 3D printers becoming more and more affordable and accessible, you’re most likely well aware of the tremendous opportunities this presents in being able to go from idea to physical part in a very short amount of time.
No More Wasting Time
I’m sure you’re also familiar with the frustration and the amount of precious wasted time spent combing through Fusion 360 “how to” videos in order to finally tackle that great idea just sitting in your head.
A Clear and Direct Path
You want to get to a place where you have an idea and can clearly see the path to take to complete the design because you’re familiar and comfortable with the design tools and techniques needed to get you there.
Quickly Start Creating
You’re not trying to design a part for the next SpaceX rocket so there’s no need to be overwhelmed by all the bells and whistles that Fusion 360 is capable of. Quickly get up and running with exactly what you need to know to start creating.
Avoid the Creativity Graveyard
You want your design software to make it easier to get all those creative ideas out, not to be another obstacle to overcome and definitely not to be a place where creativity goes to die.
The Path Begins Here
Even though the reasons to learn 3D Design are obvious, the path to go about it is anything but. Learn Fusion 360? Awesome, but where do I start? Perhaps you’ve attempted this journey before.
You’ve gone to the first place everyone goes, Youtube.
You search “Learn Fusion 360”. You may come across a great first video and look to expand on this new knowledge. However, the second video on the playlist is a bit too advanced and didn’t really continue where the first video left off. You spend more time looking for a different video. You find one that looks promising but most of the video covers what you already know. Before you know it, you’ve spent hours browsing videos and made little progress in building your knowledge.
Get there faster!
Youtube is great and all but trying to learn a significant skill through Youtube is like reading a book a page at a time where all the pages have been shuffled and there are multiple copies of each page. Who’s got the time?
The Desktop Makes Method - Master While Making
Lessons specifically made for you
Maybe you’ve tried to follow some of the learning content on Fusion 360’s website but found that these are geared toward engineers and product designers with their complex assemblies and all that talk about generative design and material strength simulation and analysis.
You then abandon the tutorials and try to learn the software yourself by jumping right in, but after hours of frustration to accomplish the most basic of tasks you end up quitting the design and the project that you were so excited about. It’s a shame really. It doesn’t have to be this way. There’s a better path.
Just in Time Approach
Your time is valuable. 3D Design Academy with Fusion 360 starts with that simple belief. Each lesson is carefully planned in order to introduce the right tools and design techniques at the right moment. Subsequent lessons build on each other allowing you to learn new tools while reinforcing previous ones.
Each mouse click is explained to ensure you don’t get lost or left wondering how a particular step was accomplished.
My "Just in Time" approach means that every tool and technique is taught by actually using it to design beautiful and practical models. I won’t waste your time with endless menu explanations and five ways to do the same thing.
If your goal is to learn Fusion 360 to create your own models for 3D printing then this is the most efficient route you can take. That’s what I focus on. No need to learn every bell and whistle that you’ll never use.
“I learnt more in 15 mins here than the Autodesk Fusion mastery course taught me in 3 struggling hours!!” - Dave Kind
Reach Absolute Clarity on How to Tackle your Designs
Imagine being in a place where you have an idea for a model you want to make and you have absolute clarity of how you’re going to approach that design. You understand the exact tools you need to use and know how to use each tool you need. Where the software is an extension of you. You find pleasure and joy in the process much like an artist with a brush and palette. Where creativity is accelerated rather than stifled.
The 5 Myths that are Killing your Creativity
I need to have an engineering or design background in order to learn a 3D modeling software
Absolutely not true. Most of my students come in with no design background and leave with the ability to design amazing models. The truth is if you can use a computer mouse, I can teach you how to design with Fusion 360. Heck, I can even teach the mouse part too. :)
I don’t have enough time in my schedule to learn this
You don’t have time in your schedule to not learn this. Once you go through my course, you’ll be amazed at how much time you’ll save yourself from:
- Having to constantly look up “how” to videos
- Starting and restarting a design in order to get it right
- Designing the long way. Taking 27 steps for a model that should have taken you 5 steps.
The learning curve is too much to overcome
There definitely is a learning curve. That’s true with any software. My method eases the curve by teaching tools and techniques as you need them and applies a learn by doing approach. Learn while creating beautiful and practical models. Each model was carefully chosen to create a smooth learning experience without the overwhelm.
I need to learn every single tool in order to effectively use the software
Fusion 360 is a very powerful and versatile software. In fact, it’s kinda like seven software in one when you consider all the different design environments. Hence the name Fusion. This course’s theme is designing models that can be 3D printed, so that’s what we’ll focus on. Your time is valuable and there’s no reason to waste it learning tools you’re not very likely to need or use.
I need to settle for what I can do vs what I want to do
NO! Let me help you get to the place where you can do what you want to do. Stop letting your creativity be stifled by your current limited ability.
Guaranteed Results
In trying to learn Fusion 360 I’ve seen others get stuck in a constant state of spinning their wheels without gaining any traction. Never fully understanding how to tackle a design and forever feeling like a beginner. This has led me to create a course that guarantees results. Results that translates to ending up with the skills and confidence to design whatever you want.

Student Reviews
Vladimir’s Fusion 360 Next Level course is awesome! I learn best by doing, and the entire program is one big, hands-on exercise. The course contains 7 individual projects where Vladimir walks you through each and every step of how to build them. I found the content so information dense, I would often watch sections several times until I could complete the exercise on my own. If you want to learn a ton of advanced features of Fusion 360, but have trouble figuring them out on your own, this is for you. - Charlie Fairchild
"Desktop Makes 3D Printing Design Academy with Fusion 360 is the best Fusion 360 tutorial ever!!
I had been searching for a while for Fusion 360 tutorials and was thrilled when I found Vlad’s Desktopmakes Tutorials. The pace of the Beginner’s class is perfect. Vlad is an extremely gifted teacher with a clear delivery that everyone can understand. He explains the why’s and how’s of Fusion 360. You will see your confidence build as you advance from one project to the next.
The best part is you will have these tutorials available for life!! I have gone back and viewed them many times when I needed help in designing new projects.
Vlad is a master teacher and he will help you become proficient in Fusion 360." -Reyce Krause
This Fusion360 course has been a real treat. Crucial essentials are the theme and they come wrapped in interesting stand alone projects that are both efficiently created and memorably described. The presentation of the detail has been the stand out feature of the course. Calm, logical and delivered with a pace that never challenges and very rarely needing the pause feature, Fusion360 can have no better messenger than this course.
I would have no hesitation in both recommending it to others and taking on any future course myself. - Trevor Taylor
