Pupils will develop knowledge of electronic components and a systems approach to designing. They will learn about different components and use these to build and test circuits for different purposes. They will design a system to control a greenhouse environment, considering the different variables.

Systems approach to design: Sustainable Futures

creating and editing 3D designs and assemblies

What is the Design workspace in Fusion used for?

to form the 2D shapes that become 3D models

A body in Fusion is a single continuous ...

a container for bodies, sketches, and features

It allows you to edit sketches and features after creation.

Why is it important to use the Timeline in Fusion?

adds or removes depth from a sketch profile

What does the Extrude command do in Fusion?

New bodies can be created or modified using the {{}} command.

combine features into one continuous body

lists all objects and data in the assembly

the sequence of features and actions used to build the model

The Extrude command is used to add or remove {{}} from a sketch.
