Manufacturing has been around for thousands of years. When it started it was simply humans creating products by hand, but thanks to the industrial revolution we were able to create products at scale. Manufacturing includes a host of trades in the blue collar industry and is very much an art form. These days the rise of the digital age means manufacturing has also moved into the computer realm with designers using programs to create products and hardware to help speed up the process itself. Below are various free online courses that cover manufacturing from the trades right through to the digital design side.<\/p>\n

These days professionals design digitally using state-of-the-art software, none better than Autodesk Fusion 360. Fusion 360 is a cloud-based Computer-Aided Design (CAD\/CAM) tool for collaborative product development that combines industrial design, mechanical engineering, and machine tool programming into one software solution. With the right training in this technology you can disrupt the manufacturing industry.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cThe course is perfect for starters with limited or no knowledge about digital design, engineering and manufacturing . It lays out pretty good foundations and great overview of Fusion 360.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n After completing this course, you will be able to:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Carpentry is a valuable skill from both a personal and professional standpoint and has stood the test of time, as long as humans continue to build houses carpenters will be in demand.
