Author Description

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. Prerequisites To use this textbook, you must be familiar with the Autodesk Fusion 360 user interface and the basics of creating 3D solid models. You can refer to the “Autodesk Fusion 360: A Power Guide for Beginners and Intermediate Users (7th Edition)” textbook by CADArtifex to learn different design techniques for creating and editing 2D sketches, solid 3D models, assemblies, animations, and 2D drawings.
