Fusion 360: Designing Custom Cookie Cutters
for Hobbyists and Creatives looking to 3D print their own unique designs!
About This Course
Fusion 360 is an intuitive 3D Modeling package where you can create your own unique designs for 3D Printing. By the end of this course, you'll know how to create your own Custom Cookie Cutter.
With this new skill, you’ll be able to create custom Cookie Cutters for your personal use, selling at craft fairs, or selling on popular online marketplaces, such as Etsy!
By the end of this class, you’ll have built two different Cookie Cutters in Autodesk Fusion 360. Fusion 360 is a free 3D modeling software that lets you digitally create your custom designs in three dimensions. Your 3D model can then be 3D printed.
I’ll cover how to turn 2D-sketches into three-dimensional objects, using Fusion 360’s extrude command. Along the way, you’ll also learn some Fusion 360 tips and tricks that will set yourself up for a successful 3D print. This course requires no previous experience working in Fusion 360.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
I’m a complete beginner to Fusion 360. Is this course right for me?
Yes! This course assumes that you have no prior Fusion 360 experience. You’ll start by learning basic 2D sketching and Fusion 360's core features. Each lesson is step-by-step, meaning you can follow along and practice the concepts at the same time.
-
Why is Fusion 360 good for 3D Printing Cookie Cutters?
Fusion 360 is a parametric modeling program. That means you can design 3D printable objects to precise dimensions, unlike mesh programs, such as Blender or Maya. Fusion 360 also offers a free Personal Use license - making it perfect for woodworking hobbyists on a limited budget. Instructions on signing up and downloading are included in the course.
