1-on-1 Fusion 360 Tutoring for 3D Printing - Turn Your Ideas into Reality
From 34 £ /h
Have you ever found the perfect 3D model online, only to realize it’s just a little too small, or missing a hole you need? Or maybe you have a brilliant idea for an invention, a custom bracket, or a replacement part for your house, but you have no idea how to design it from scratch?
AutoDesk Fusion 360 is one of the best solutions for beginners, hobbyists and even professionals when it comes to learning the basics of Computer Aided Design (CAD). Fusion 360 is also free to use for students or for personal use, making it easily accessible to anybody who knows how to use a computer.
Our 1-on-1, beginner-friendly tutoring skips the confusing training and teaches you exactly what you need to know to make awesome, real-world objects using a 3D printer.
Opening Fusion 360 for the first time can feel like sitting in the cockpit of a spaceship—there are just too many buttons.
Instead of just memorizing what the buttons do, you will build real-world skills through practical, print-focused milestones. Here is exactly what you will learn to do inside Fusion 360:
What You’ll Learn to Create (Step-by-Step)
We don't do boring, repetitive exercises or fill in workbooks. You'll learn by making real things every session using our on-site Bambu Lab printers! Here is what you’ll be able to do:
🛠️Design Custom Replacement Parts
Learn how to measure a broken item in your house (like a plastic clip, a battery cover, or a knob) with a pair of calipers and recreate it perfectly on your screen.
No more throwing things away just because a small plastic piece snapped. This give you an opportunity to learn why the original part broke and how you can make a more functional part of your own.
📐Make "Smart" Models That Resize Instantly
Learn the magic of making a design that adapts. You’ll create a project—like a storage box—where you can change one number (like the width), and the rest of the box automatically updates itself without ruining your work. You can reuse your own designs over and over for different projects.
🧩Design Parts That Fit and Move Together
Learn the secret to designing moving parts. We will show you exactly how much "breathing room" (clearance) to leave between plastic parts so that hinges swing, drawers slide, functional threads and lids snap shut without getting stuck.
🔩Mix Plastic with Real Hardware
Learn how to design perfect holes for metal screws, slots to drop in hex nuts, and spaces for bearings. Plastic unfortunately can't do everything, but with a bit of help from off the shelf parts, you can make your models and prints work with some very novel advantages sometimes not even possible in traditional manufacturing.
✂️"Remix" Existing 3D Files (STLs)
Take those files you download from websites like Thingiverse or Printables and learn how to actually change them. You'll learn how to cut parts off, stretch shapes, or add your own text and logos to existing models. Make anything fit your purpose and modify parts.

About Me
Hello! My name is Matt
I'll be your CAD modeller and 3D printing tutor to help you make your product ideas become something youll be able to hold in your hands!
I have worked with 3D modelling software for over 15 years and have been 3D printing and designing parts and prototypes for my customers for over 5 years for the UK and Canada.
My background is primarily in aviation maintenance, but I have also worked in industries such as metal laser cutting, CNC router tool path design and operation, x-ray systems assembly and testing, automotive dismantling, robotics and mechatronics consulting and even film and tv.
All these skills have allowed me to design parts not just for the end-user of the product, but also to keep in mind how products will be installed, maintained and modified for future proofing and ease of use.
My goal is to make learning fun and engaging, to enable others really get what the want out of their designs and to help you with your 3D prints so they fit and snap together while being practical!
Hope to see you soon!
