Build a part from the sketch up — constraints, dimensions, and clean profiles in Fusion 2025.
Design functional, printable gears that mesh cleanly — modeled from scratch in Fusion.
Generate finger-joint boxes fast with Makercase, then refine them in Fusion for the laser.
A full state-machine build: tap a card to unlock the door, and trigger an alarm if it's forced.
What state machines are and why they make interactive projects predictable and easy to debug.
Drive a model with parameters so one design makes many sizes — a photo-frame example.

I'm Fox Bright, and this is where I keep the lessons I teach on technological design — written to be clear on their own, and paired with video when seeing it move makes it click.
The goal is simple: give students a single, calm place to learn the tools and the thinking behind good design, at their own pace, whenever they need it.
