Course description

Fusion CAM & CNC

Fusion's integrated CAM functionality brings enterprise-class machining capabilities to the desktop.

Our 2day Fusion CAM and CNC training provides a thorough grounding for beginners.

    It teaches everything you need to program your CNC machine to generate your Fusion 360 designs. You’ll learn how to use Fusion to:

    • Create a suitable CAM setup.
    • Design fixtures.
    • Prepare your 2D and 3D models for machining on CNC routers and mills.
    • Perform 2D cutting.
    • Perform 3D machining.
    • Export your design as G-code suitable for your specific CNC machine.

    The course is highly practical. We have a CNC machine that our trainer uses to demonstrate the techniques taught. 

    Armada is a long-standing Autodesk Authorised Training Centre (ATC), and our Fusion CAM and CNC courses are accredited by Autodesk.

    Fusion CAM and CNC courses are hosted by Autodesk Certified Instructors, with vast experience of using the application professionally.

    Training venue

    We currently only offer in-class training for this course at our Bromsgrove centre, which is just south of Birmingham.

    We have two training centres in Bromsgrove. If you’re attending a course here, we’ll confirm which centre it’s being held at in your joining instructions. Please call us if you need to know before then.

    Our Bromsgrove centres are easily accessible from the M5 (J4 or J5) and M42 (J1) motorways. Both centres offer:

    • Free car parking and corporate rates for accommodation.
    • Free-of-charge taxi service from and back to Birmingham City Centre for all scheduled courses.

    We also offer this training in our Live Online format, at a discounted price. 

    Suitability - Who should attend?

    Anyone who wants to learn more on the CAM and CNC possibilities and features that Fusion offers.

    Delegates should be familiar with the fundamentals of Fusion, i.e. have attended Fusion Essentials training or have equivalent knowledge through other means.

    If you need to attend Fusion Essentials first, we offer a Fusion training bundle price for both courses.

    Course delivery details

    When you attend training in-class, you’ll practice on a Windows computer. If you participate live online, you can run Fusion on either a Windows computer or Mac.

    Training is based on the current version of Fusion.

    Fusion works almost identically running on a Windows computer or Mac, and our course is suitable for users of both platforms. (There are some minor differences, but nothing of significance.)
