My Affair With Fusion 360
Into 3D modeling? CNC programming? Love to just create or wish you can design your own product? Check out Fusion 360! I have been a Solidworks user for over 6 years and programmed with Solidcam but have recently discovered Autodesk Fusion 360 and I am falling in love! It is just so powerful and easy to learn and use. It works for both PC and MAC systems and the best part is that it is a cloud based program. Open your files from any computer anywhere in the world! Take time to view this video to see what it is all about!
It is a excellent programs.
I only had use the CAD module, how is the CAM?
The CAM module is really nice. It takes a bit to learn how it works especially if you're coming from another cam system. Once you get the hang of it you realize how it almost knows what you are trying to do with your part. One of the main features I love is that it is all integrated. It comes with both milling and turning so you can get right to programming once you have your part ready. They provide a list online of different post processors to choose from that you can download and edit if you need to. Best part is that it is a free system for students and enthusiast. Price is only $300 a year but you can pay monthly for it also. Can't beat a price like that! lol!
