In this course we are going to design a game controller housing for the PCB from our game controller design course. This housing will be ready for Injection Molding. The main project includes a few different steps:

• Common Terms - Review of common terms and geometry for molded applications.
• Mold Review - Taking a look at an actual mold to identify what they actually look like.
• Design Set-up - Creating parameters to help drive key aspects such as draft, wall thickness, and rib thickness.
• Housing Design - Creating a base shape with applicable draft.
• Molded Part Design - Creating features that can be injection molded.
• Quotes - Quoting the design and review any possible changes.

We will be exploring some absolute basic concepts and walking through every step of the design process to create a set of parts that can be injection molded.

Fusion was updated in Jan 2026 and with it came Intent-Driven Design. While this doesn't impact the modeling tools, and provided datasets will default to a Hybrid Design, we have added a video providing info on what changed and what you need to know.
