The Autodesk Fusion 360 Surface Design and Sculpting with T-Spline Surfaces (7th Edition) textbook is designed for use in both instructor-led courses and self-paced learning. It is intended to aid engineers and designers who are interested in learning Autodesk Fusion 360 to create complex shape real-world models using surface and T-Spline modeling techniques. This textbook is a great help for Autodesk Fusion 360 users who are new to surface and T-Spline modeling. It consists of a total of 234 pages covering the Surface and Form/Sculpt environments of Autodesk Fusion 360. It teaches users to use Autodesk Fusion 360 mechanical design software to create complex shapes of three-dimensional surfaces and T-spline models with zero thickness. This edition of the textbook has been developed using Autodesk Fusion 360 software version: 2602.1.14 (May 2025 Product Update).
This textbook not only focuses on the usage of the tools and commands of Autodesk Fusion 360 for creating surface and T-Spline models but also on the concept of design. Every chapter in this textbook contains tutorials followed by theoretical descriptions, which provide users with step-by-step instructions for creating surface designs and sculpting with T-Spline surfaces. Moreover, every chapter ends with hands-on test drives, which allow users to experience the user-friendly and powerful capabilities of Autodesk Fusion 360.
