student version

I am using student version as given by my college, the overall experience is very good. This software actually helped me in building my projects since my 1st year of college. Honestly this is one of the best software I have ever used.

Pros

I really liked this software, here I made many project designs such as my robo soccer bot design. I made my robo soccer bot complete design on fusion then using the dxf files for laser cutting to make the final robot. It actually helped me in making many designs for my patent proposals, lab submissions, projects and much more. I am now working on a FPV drone design on Fusion and I wish this project to be successfull too. Earlier I made my robo race bot designed on fusion. I made many 3d printed components made on fusion, even a medical box for delivery robot project. I even made a cycle design, and many more like that. Fusion gave me best experience a beginer and brought me to intermediate level. I hope to more better with this software.

Cons

There are not generally any problems but sometimes it lags while using some complex commands. sometimes while using extrude command immediate after using pattern command, the software slows down due to so much processing at once. To save a file we need to connect online otherwise the file can't be saved.

Powerful tool for Engineers

A versatile tool that can do it all. Very powerful CAD software with unlimited possibilities as long as you are willing to put in the time to learn.

Pros

Very flexible, can do everything from creating P&ID, to designs for 3D printing, to simulations for modelling new processes.

Cons

Steep learning curve to begin with due to high number of features, requires a lot of tutorials and time spent on the job learning.

Best CAD software out there!

Absolutely great! In my opinion, its the best CAD out there! I can easily build whatever I want, and animate and render it too! Plus its safe, and easy to manage what ive built. Support is also great, helpful and honest.

Pros

Im kindof a beginner with CAD, and this is crazy! its super easy for me to make anything i want, i can use all i need for free, and it just keeps getting better!

Cons

I find that, even with a high end pc workstation, it still freezes sometimes for no reason, but thats minor!

CAD Development

Pros

I like the different features and tools to define any shape I am looking for.

Cons

Fusion 360 is not as smooth running as other CAD software, but is a great entry level product.

Powerful 3D CAD and CAM Software

It's been great and it's such an easy product to use and Autodesk is always working to improve the software and add new features. Because of that it tends to be ahead of the curve in making it easy to design and program parts to be made.

Pros

It's easy to learn and a powerful solution that is integral to our machine shop.

Cons

Nothing really other than machine posts for the CAM part of Fusion could be easier to work with. That said, Autodesk's support and 3rd party support makes it easy to solve those challenges.

Alternatives Considered

SolidWorks Premium

Reasons for Switching to Autodesk Fusion

Ease of use and built-in CAM/post processors are more powerful and cost effective.
