Who are we?
Who are we?
The CADCAM Educators Hub is a community of educators who are passionate about using CADCAM software in their classrooms. The community is run by educators for educators, and is designed to provide a platform for sharing resources, tips, and best practices for using Fusion in education. Members of the community can access a wide range of resources, including lesson plans, tutorials, and project ideas, as well as connect with other educators who are using Fusion in their classrooms.Â
We are available to support and train educators with their development of using CADCAM software with students.
CADCAM educators hub was born from the idea that teachers want a resource hub to share and collaborate. Initially we started working with UTC colleges, but have now branched out to working with students as young as primary aged right through to those at university.
Our go to software is Autodesk Fusion and you can find out about how we use it in the video on the right, featuring all of our team.
We also have skills on other areas of CAD including platforms such as REVIT, Autodesk CFD, TinkerCAD and even Alias.
Why Autodesk Fusion for Educators
Why Autodesk Fusion for Educators
Fusion is considered a powerful tool for schools because it offers a wide range of capabilities in one integrated platform, and it is also a cost-effective solution for educational institutions. Some of the reasons it is considered to be good in schools are:
3D modelling and design: Fusion allows students to create accurate 3D models of mechanical components and assemblies, and use advanced tools to create complex shapes and geometries. This helps students to develop their design and modelling skills.
Simulation and analysis: Fusion includes a wide range of simulation and analysis tools, including structural, thermal, and dynamic analysis, that allow students to test and optimize their designs before manufacturing. This helps students to develop their analytical and problem-solving skills.
Collaboration and data management: Fusion allows for easy sharing and collaboration of designs, with the ability to work on the same project with team members in real-time. This helps students to develop teamwork and communication skills.
Manufacturing and fabrication support: Fusion 360 provides a wide range of tools for manufacturing and fabrication, including CNC machining, 3D printing, and other manufacturing processes. This helps students to understand the practical applications of engineering and manufacturing.
Accessible and easy to learn: Fusion 360 has a user-friendly interface and provides a wide range of tutorials and resources that make it easy for students to learn and use.
Cost-effective: Fusion 360 offers a free education license for schools, which makes it an affordable solution for educational institutions.
