Lydia Sloan Cline is the author of Fusion 360 for Makers, which is out in a new second edition. She teaches 3D design and fabrication at Johnson County Community College in Overland Park, Kansas, where she began as a drafting professor with a degree in Architecture. Patrick DiJusto, Make: Books editor, interviews Lydia in this episode. They talk about using generative design, a way of telling software what you to build and have it present you with multiple design options. She also talks about how 3D printing first came into the community college where she taught drafting and how it became an aid for students visualizing objects. She encourages her students to learn 3D design and thinks it can be valuable for anyone to learn.
