Introduction to 3D Modeling with Fusion 360 - Make your own fidget

Want to learn how to 3D model but don’t know where to start? In this class, you’ll dive into the basics of Fusion 360 — one of the most powerful and beginner-friendly 3D modeling tools out there. Whether you’re curious about product design, interested in digital fabrication, or just want to bring your ideas to life, this course is for you.

You can book private or group sessions, depending on your preference. We’ll go step-by-step through the fundamentals of 3D modeling: sketching, extruding, filleting, and more — all while creating simple, fun projects (like your own custom fidget or small object!).

I’m a product designer with over 10 years of experience in 3D modeling and Fusion 360, and I would love to be your teacher. No prior experience needed — just bring your curiosity and a laptop!

About Me

Hi!

I’m Mariana — a product and industrial designer with over 10 years of experience in 3D modeling and digital fabrication. I was a professor at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) in the United States, where I taught design, 3D modeling, and emerging technologies for four years.

I’m currently based in the Netherlands, where I host creative workshops that guide people through the process of 3D modeling, 3D printing, and silicone casting. Participants design their own custom molds using Fusion 360 and bring their ideas to life as colorful, handmade silicone fidgets.

Whether you’re a beginner or looking to sharpen your skills, I’d love to help you learn Fusion 360 and start designing your own creations!
