    Description

    This session will explore a practical, classroom-tested workflow for integrating advanced electronics and mechanical design using Autodesk Fusion software. Using a mechatronics case study—a Raspberry Pi Pico-controlled NERF turret—you'll learn to streamline multidisciplinary design, enhance collaboration, and prevent integration challenges. See how Fusion can simplify electronics PCB and mechanical design integration, optimize prototyping, and support real-world educational outcomes. Gain practical methods for improving your electronics-mechanical workflow efficiency.

    Key Learnings

    • Learn about integrating electronic schematic and PCB layout seamlessly into mechanical designs within Fusion.
    • Learn about preventing common multidisciplinary design pitfalls through strategic co-design techniques.
    • Learn about implementing effective project-based workflows for teaching advanced mechatronics concepts.
    • Learn how to optimize rapid prototyping cycles using the Fusion 360 simulation and validation tools.
