Course description
Fusion 360 CAM & CNC
Fusion 360’s integrated CAM functionality brings enterprise-class machining capabilities to the desktop.
Our 2day Fusion 360 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 360 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 mac
hine.
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 360 CAM and CNC courses are accredited by Autodesk.
Fusion 360 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 360 offers.
Delegates should be familiar with the fundamentals of Fusion 360, i.e. have attended Fusion 360 Essentials training or have equivalent knowledge through other means.
If you need to attend Fusion 360 Essentials first, we offer an Fusion360 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 360 on either a Windows computer or Mac.
Training is based on the current version of Fusion 360.
Fusion 360 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.)
