Assembly Models with Autodesk Fusion
Assembly Modelling
What is Assembly Modelling?
Assembly modelling combines multiple parts to create a full product. It helps teams work together to ensure the parts fit and function properly. This is done using CAD software.
Assembly Modelling for Sustainability
Smarter Design: Virtual testing fixes issues early, reducing material waste.
Fewer Prototypes: Digital simulations cut the need for physical prototypes, saving resources.
Efficient Manufacturing: Fewer production errors mean less waste and faster, greener production.
How Assembly Modelling in CAD Works
Start with a base component, then position other parts around it using assembly joints.
In Fusion 360, parts can be made and assembled in one file. In other CAD software, parts are usually in separate files combined in an assembly file.
Types of Joints in Autodesk Fusion
Rigid Joint: Fixes two components to one another; it provides no degrees of freedom.
Revolute Joint: Has a single rotational degree of freedom, much like a hinge.
Hands-on: Joints and 3D Assembly Model in Fusion

Creating Team Project Folder in Autodesk Fusion
Choose Team: Open Data Panel and select the correct team.
Create Project: Click "New Project" and name it.
Open Project Folder: Go to "People" tab.
Add Members: Enter teammate’s RP email and press enter.
Set Permissions: Give 'Editor' access.
Add All Members: Repeat for each teammate.
Check: Ensure all members are added with correct permissions.
