PCB Design and Manufacturing with Fusion 360

Designing custom electronics requires a seamless bridge between electrical schematics and physical enclosures. Fusion 360 solves this by combining circuit design and mechanical modeling into a single, unified workspace. In this text-based course, you will transition from understanding basic electronic components to designing complete printed circuit boards (PCBs) ready for professional fabrication. You will gain a solid foundation in both schematic capture and physical layout, ensuring your boards fit perfectly into their physical housings. What you'll learn: Understand foundational electronic components and schematic design principles; Create clear, organized circuit schematics using the Fusion 360 library; Route PCB layouts efficiently while adhering to standard design rules; Integrate ECAD and MCAD workspaces to align your board with mechanical enclosures; Generate standard manufacturing files, including Gerbers and drill files, for production; Apply basic SPICE simulation to test and verify circuit behavior before manufacturing. The course begins with core electronics terminology and software navigation, guiding you step-by-step through schematic creation, board routing, and exporting production-ready files. Designed specifically for beginners, this course requires no prior experience in hardware design or CAD software. Start reading today to bring your custom electronic hardware designs to life.
