That only took like 3 hours.Ī couple of commenters suggesting Draftsight. I hate to show off and make people feel inferior, but here is the box I made.
The files you create can be used by other programs, so you’re not an orphan if you somehow lose the use of Fusion 360.
When you make a design, you can export it and put it on your PC, and you can use the program without an Internet connection. Even then, you have to make $100,000 before they start charging you. It supposedly has CAM as well as CAD, but all I’ve done is draw a box with a hole in it, so I couldn’t tell you anything about that.įusion 360 is made by Autodesk, and it’s absolutely free, with all the bells and whistles, unless you start making money with it. So far it’s more intuitive than Alibre, and at $0, it’s cheaper by $400. I downloaded Fusion 360 and tried it out. And what if they decide my new pressure cooker design is a bomb, and they decide to confiscate it? What if I decide to design gun parts for 3D printing? What if they decide I’m not allowed to use the Internet because I refuse to eat new Gay Pride Rainbow-Colored Doritos (a real product)?
RENEW FUSION 360 HOBBYIST PC
I’m sure DHS can see anything it wants in my PC right now, but the idea of simply giving up all pretense of privacy is unsettling. On the other hand, if you live in South Florida, and the Internet goes out every time it rains, and you might want to design things without effectively submitting them to DHS for approval every time you work, then maybe Onshare is not for you. If you work for a big company, and you have a T1 connection at work, or whatever kind of connection it is that they have now, and your Internet connection never goes down, AND you don’t mind having no privacy and no control over your data, then Onshare is probably great.
RENEW FUSION 360 HOBBYIST OFFLINE
If you want to work on your own, without involving the cloud, you are working “offline.” Onshape does not support offline work. There are only servers, and if your stuff is in “the cloud,” that means it’s on someone else’s server, and that person, not you, controls it. I do not like “the cloud.” There is no cloud. When I checked the programs out, I learned some things, and I ruled Onshape out pretty quickly. I went to the forums and got two suggestions: Onshape and Fusion 360. This is like having a jet with a blind pilot and a navigator with no tongue. My other CAD/CAM program, Dolphin, apparently has a CAD module which people consider nearly worthless.
RENEW FUSION 360 HOBBYIST UPGRADE
Alibre Design 2012, my CAD program, has a built-in upgrade incentive: you can’t use the files for anything. The basic problem was that I had a good CAD program, a good CAM program, and no way to move files from one to the other. I got some comments on the post about CAD problems, so I am here to tell about my progress.
