Power of Custom Design - FUSION 360

Tyler Beck from Tech & Espresso

The car audio world is constantly evolving, and having the right tools and skills to design custom parts has never been more essential. With advanced CNC machines and 3D printers, fabricating custom components is more accessible than ever. However, having the right tech is only half the battle; understanding solid modeling design is crucial for maximizing this potential.

I, for one, learned this firsthand. When I first got my hands on a Bambu X1 3D printer, I thought I could simply find and print models online. But soon, I realized that most of these models required modifications to fit my specific needs, especially regarding custom speaker installations in vehicle doors. This is when I realized that I needed to learn how to design my own parts. I spent countless hours exploring AutoCAD and Fusion 360 but found myself getting stuck repeatedly.

That’s when I stumbled across Tyler Beck’s Tech & Espresso YouTube channel. Tyler's straightforward, easy-to-follow tutorials on Fusion 360 opened up a new world of possibilities. His content covered all the basics and even went into more advanced techniques. I watched every free video I could, and soon, I contemplated his quick-start course.

I'm usually skeptical about online courses, but after a few days of deliberation, I contacted Tech & Espresso for more information. I was pleasantly surprised when Tyler himself responded without any sales pressure or spammy follow-ups. Taking his course was one of the best decisions I’ve made. I quickly learned core Fusion 360 concepts, which allowed me to design custom parts for our shop’s installations. Instead of stocking hundreds of adapters and kits, I can now 3D print exactly what I need, precisely when I need it.

Recently, I hit a roadblock on a particular project and decided to reach out to Tyler for some guidance. To my surprise, he responded almost immediately and helped me solve my issue in just a few back-and-forth emails. The experience was so seamless that I asked if we could set up a class, and Tyler graciously agreed. We walked through a few more advanced concepts, and I learned more in that session than I ever could have on my own. Working with Tyler felt like getting help from an old friend—effortless and productive.

So, who is Tyler Beck, and why is he so good at what he does? Tyler is an experienced technical sales engineer, trainer, and product marketing manager with a strong engineering and B2B SaaS sales background. His expertise in creating high-impact, low-cost video content, and his natural teaching ability make him a standout in the industry. He delivers valuable training and educates users on complex software like Fusion 360. His technical knowledge and passion for teaching have helped countless people, including me, reach new levels in their design work.

Oh, did I tell you Tyler actually worked for AutoDesk (Makers of Fusion 360) or sold a teaching company to Solidworks another premier 3D modeling software? Yeah, Tyler is beyond the real deal…
