This is an open ended question, but to just get you started I am going to demonstrate in this article the minimum amount of knowledge needed to create basic toolpaths. If you want to find Autodesk’s knowledge base just click the ‘?’ in the top right hand corner of the Fusion 360 user interface. The majority of the tutorials I have seen neglect this area and concentrate on the design aspect only. The emphasis on this tutorial and any I do after this will be on creating toolpaths for a cnc machine.

You will only have to understand a few of Fusion 360’s capabilities to get creating your projects.

This introduction is titled ‘Fusion 360 basics’ because you don’t have to learn everything about this software to use it for creating your toolpaths. I will design this sign and create G Code for it in this tutorial This article will show you a step by step process for producing your own G Code using Fusion 360.
