Testimonials

Munir Thaker

Leader - LJP Fusion 360 Club 2020

When I began with Diploma, I had doubt about which CAD software to learn, But when Azim Sir came up with Autodesk Fusion 360 for the students to learn, I was so relieved. Believe me, its super easy to use & with sir's guidance, it was totally my cup of tea. It's better than hand drawing from each and every point of view, it gave me an even better platform to work on my ideas and to enhance my creativity. I'm thankful to my faculties, Autodesk Community Gujarat for carrying out this workshop.

Yash Patel

Student, Mechanical Engineering, LJP

Being a Diploma Mechanical student, it was a great opportunity for me to learn fusion in a very early stage of my academic carrier. I thoroughly appreciate the efforts and I'm thankful to Azim Sir & Autodesk Community for introducing us to this mesmerizing world of software through the medium of Fusion 360. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire 30 days learning series of Fusion 360. All this is just because of our enthusiastic and beyond compassionate staff members. Fusion has taught me many new things being from 2D to 3D and having a wide range of opportunities for me by introducing me to the whole world of mechanical designing . Fusion 360 was a life changing experience for me and one of the biggest milestone of my academic carrier as a diploma student and I'm beyond grateful to all the staff members for giving me this opportunity to fulfill my dream. Thank You.

Darsh Sondarwa

Student, Mechanical Engineering, LJP

Fusion 360 is a great designing software and it is also user friendly. It is great for mechanical or technical designs. Personally I had a great experience with this software as it has separate tools on the basis of your requirements. I designed many objects with this software and I'm proud to be a part of this family.
