High school · Fusion · 3D printing

Fusion CAD and 3D printing, taught like industry.

A full-year course where every part students design gets printed and tested. Lessons, teacher scripts, print files and practice screens that work like Fusion, all in one place.

Section A–A · The Point Two rule gap 0.20 mm
Snug

It starts with a lid that won't fit

Students don't open Fusion first. They pick up two printed lids that look the same. One snaps onto the box. The other jams. The only difference is 0.2 mm, and that gap is where our name comes from.

01 · Hold it

A real problem first

Every unit opens with something students can hold: a lid, a hinge, a bracket that cracked. They want to know why before they touch the software.

02 · Model it

Build it the way industry does

They model the part in Fusion, step by step, with the same tools and the same habits an engineer uses at work.

03 · Print it

The printer is the grader

Parts print overnight and get tested in class. If the lid jams, the model is wrong, and students can see exactly where.

You can always find the lesson

Every lesson page has the same seven parts in the same order, with the print files and handouts in one drawer.

A teacher view and a student view

One page, two voices. You get the script, the timing and the mistakes to watch for. Students get the same lesson written for a 9th grader.

Practice screens that work like Fusion

Every step has a small practice view with the real toolbar and the real dialogs. Students can warm up or catch up, and nothing they do in it can break a file.

Teach mode for the projector

One click turns the lesson into big, clean slides with a timer, so you can teach from the same page you planned from.

Graded on the part, not on a screenshot

Every build has a number that proves it's right, so you aren't clicking through 30 files to see who finished.

Volume self-check
15,632 mm³✓ matches

Students read the volume off their finished part. If it matches the key, the model is right. If it doesn't, they know to look again before they print.

Three tiers
CoreAdvancedExpert

Everyone finishes Core. Fast finishers move up a tier, so the quick students stay busy and everyone else still finishes the main part.

Design Intent
Sketch · Timeline · Fit

A short rubric for how the part was built: fully defined sketches, a clean timeline and the right clearances. It's the habit that separates a model from a drawing.

A full year, ready to teach

Two semesters with one industry part every week, ending with the Autodesk Certified User exam for Fusion and a portfolio students can show.

Written in a real classroom

Point Two Works is written by a high school CAD and 3D printing teacher, for 9th graders working on everyday printers. The lessons are taught in a real high school CAD lab.

You don't need an engineering background to teach it. Each lesson tells you what to say, what to click, and which mistakes to expect before students make them.
